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

Take a look at 1592's bot- they actually shot them upside down intentionally. They were the only team I saw all year who tried to do that.
The bot preferred to pick them up upside down because the loader would flip them over before it shot but picking them up upside down or right side up didn't matter because it could gather and shoot both ways.
