If they did use frisbees, and if they did have a rule like this, then couldn't that bring back the theory of air hockey? Someone mentioned it a while ago, and it was kind of dismissed, but when you bring up something like this... Couldn't it be possible? I mean, Ultimate Ascent was a pretty random task, considering FIRST's history and love of spherical objects.

Air hockey could also tie in the assist aspect as well. All three robots are going to have to work together to stop the other team from scoring - as far as my idea goes, anyway.
