Re: Loading from a 4 frisbee bucket

The design of our robot doesn't allow us to mount a pushing piston. Any suggestions?
We run the same exact system, we pull the frisbee from underneath. The next frisbee falls down, but our "frisbee puller" is a wedge shape (like this: |\ but a much much shallower angle) so when the pusher returns it slides under the bottom frisbee
