Re: Upside down Frisbees; can your team get them out?

Since we use an air cylinder shaft to catch the lip of the disc to send it on its way we, at first, could not eject an inverted disc.
After BMR I came up with the L.I.F.E. wedge.
Little
Inverted
Frisbee
Ejector

It pushes the inverted disc into the shooting wheel and ejects it. The disc doesn't fly far but it comes out screaming. At CRR we ejected an inverted disc at out opponents plexiglas and scared the #@*% out of them
