Re: Floor pickup Vs. feeder station

Quote:
There's one major problem I see with that, mostly time. From what I can see of most teams' designs, they'd have to back up after picking up a disc to let the feeder drop another one for them. Having to back up and then line back up for each disc will take far too long.
Why wouldn't the human player just push 4 frisbees through the slot while the robot is on it's way there, so they're sitting on the floor waiting for the robot to drive across them and pick them up when the robot gets there? Seemed to work pretty well for 2056 in Toronto.
