Yes there were teams that did that back in 2013. However a Frisbee is much light and easier to change its trajectory with a gust of air than a dense foam ball (IMO). We were concerned about how much power we could get just blowing air and how effective thay would be, so we decided to funnel that air into a custom made long plastic bag (duct tape and several stadium cup bags from the concessions). It started compacted down and when we turned the air pump on it inflated.
