One solution may be to ask a weak shooting partner to load and shoot from across the field, that way, you would have a constant supply for more than just the last 30 seconds.

Was your team able to solve the upside down frisbee pickup problem?
With no defense, we can do 4 made shots with a complete round trip from the feeder station in 12 seconds.
With an effective floor feeder around/near the pyramid with tons of frisbees on the ground as a result of human throwing error, I see that as very possible.

Many teams have made shooters that can unload all of their frisbees in protected zones around/under the pyramid in the low 1.X second range.

I just saw another team in Hawaii showcase all 4 frisbees in less than 1 second.
