We were thinking about doing it like Miss Daisy did where they have a spring-loaded intake with one side in the front having larger rollers than the other side.
Anyways please let me know what you guys did to solve this problem, thanks.

We actually solved this problem by attempting different variations on how the tread was mounted (the direction of the tread when the rollers rolled) and we used a hex standoff to kinda hold the frisbee so the other one can come in before the next one comes in. The different combinations of tread configuration allowed the frisbee to be pulled to the side where the first frisbee came in. So the frisbees come in side by side, the right frisbee goes straight in and the left frisbee kinda rotates to the right side then entering the robot right behind the first frisbee. I'll add a picture when I get home from school.
