See my prototype vid for an overview. Basically, I needed the roller to push the frisbee down, while pulling he opposite end toward the kicky roller. At that point the only place for the frisbee to go is up and into the robot's lifter. We have gotten frisbees with the DDI up, but by driving around trying to get the frisbee to catch. The DDI widens the intake to allow 2 frisbees at once as well as picking up from corners.
