Also, for all the people who want a frisbee game, I love frisbee. However, from playing with frisbee's all the time, to make a robot that tosses frisbees well is VERY complicated. Not only would you have to develop a mechanism that adds spin to the frisbee, you'd have to develop a mechanism that can release the frisbee (WHILE adding spin to it at the same time) and a mechanism to reload the frisbee launcher, possibly with frisbees from the ground. The point is, if FIRST did decide to use frisbees, maybe one or two teams would make a frisbee launcher. For the rest, like the stacking this year, it just wouldn't be worth it and they'd build box-on-wheels plowing bots or bots that would block the goal.

Im sure some teams would find the obvious answer and just collect the frisbees and dump them without throwing them.
