So, I suspect that robots picking up frisbees will not be as hard as you imagine.
Interesting solution. Here's another: Have the frisbees lying on the ground. Use a system like my launcher ( or maybe even the launcher that can move up and down) and have it drive over the frisbee and suck it up into a storage container.
