It has enough force to hold it in place and flexible enough to have a piston push it through. The teeth will eventually break, but making 20 spares is easy.  |
We did something similar to this at NYC. We took a piece of flexible plastic that wasn't lexan and used it to essentially shim out our bucket to fit the frisbee better and prevent the discs from riding up onto each other. We are still having a few jamming issues and withheld our hopper to work on it so I'll post anything we come up with, hopefully this thread stays alive because I know this was a problem for a ton of teams at NYC.
