[Coach Norm]

We had a similar problem to the stacking, nesting in both the forward and back positions when frisbees were fired.

We actually did not have the problem in an early prototype. As we moved through testing, we moved to a more rigid method and it was a major problem.

Our solution, the opening the frisbee slides out of is smaller than the height of the frisbee. The top part of our hopper system is mounted on a hinge at the side opposite the frisbee exit position. The upper part of the hopper moves up as the bottom frisbee is pushed out. The hopper slides back down into position as the bottom frisbee moves out. As is mentioned above, the hopper does not allow the frisbees to stack but in one way without overlap on any edge. We are using a Jason's Deli pickle bucket of the 6 gallon variety. It has a slightly smaller draft on the side than a regular 5 gallon variety bucket. We are using the very top portion of the bucket down to just below the second rib (about 3" worth of the bucket).

Hope this helps and good luck.
