Re: Floor pickup Vs. feeder station
Our team decided to go with floor pickup this year (I believe a video of it was posted earlier in this thread). It seems to have been working superbly so long as there are discs on the field. We decided on the ground collector before the rule change about only throwing colored discs rather than any remaining white discs at the end of the match, so in some of our matches, we were more starved of frisbees than we would have liked.
That being said, this was where strategy (ie. a feeder bot shooting a few rounds of discs over half-court) became invaluable to us.
Another point I want to mention is that in dire situations, we found that if our driver needed to come to the feeder station for some discs, they could be thrown out in advance, so the floor collector could scoop them up and just rush off to score. Although it is by no means a "perfect" maneuver, ground collectors can still collect discs from the feeder stations fairly quickly if needed.
