UpsideDown Frisbees

Ah, but what it you want to throw them only about 15 feet? Are the trajectories similar enough (or can be compensated) that it'll score in THIS game?

You may find that picking frisbees up is not worth the time and effort.

Seriously? You seem to have concluded that it will be difficult to pick up frisbees, the floor won't be littered with them, and the cruise back to your feeding station will be both fast and easy.

I am sorry but I have to disagree on all points. Teams that can't pick up won't be in the top 1/3 of all teams.
