Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals

As in every year, the field IS the field. It is the same field for every team. I hate to see scored Frisbees bounce out, but it will probably happen to every team, unless someone has a shooter that floats the disks in to a soft landing.

I suspect that most teams have been designing for longer, faster, harder shots. Makes me think my original idea of a robot to scoop them up off the floor and dump them in the low goal might not have been such a bad idea after all!
