If I think I can score 3 tubes simultaneously, magazine up 45 frisbees, or carry a bunch of foam basketballs, why not let me try?

There was no limit on how many tetras you could carry in 2005, and some teams did multiple (85's was super cool), but the game was open to both kinds of robot. I guess you just have to have some kind of built in weight (tetra) or volume (ball) limit, but I would love to see some of the huge ball collector nets from 2004 make a comeback.

I get that with some games you've really got to have the limit to make them work well, but I still think it'd be fun to build mechanisms that do a whole bunch at once.
I kind of want to make a 45 Frisbee magazine for our robot now (to be used in off season demos).
Or at least a couple of hot-swappable 12-20 Frisbee magazines.
