During the least 30 seconds, I would be surprised to see a floor pickup and shooting robot manage even one cycle with white frisbees thrown by the human players.
Floor pickup will still be important with the number of Frisbees that will start on the floor, as well as those from missed shots.
After attending the Suffield Shakedown, I can attest to the safety issue involved here. If you want to, blame the lawyers, not the GDC.
The GDC made a thoughtful choice here.
Less than 10 percent of the Frisbees thrown made it into a goal.
At least the game reset crew is probably going to have an easier time of it.
Let's not make this a bigger deal than it is.
