The platform is roughly 24 inches wide, which is roughly 11 inches from the pole. With each disc being 10.625 inches, I guess a Disc has to hit the chain in order to land fully in the platform.

The issue is scoring. Per 3.1.5.1, a disc cannot be touching a Robot. If a disc is hanging over the edge, it could lean against a Robot that has climbed to the top.

Should have added this as well. The other question, what if the top goal if filled? It doesn't appear that the Frisbee will just drop out after they score. are these Frisbees out of play?
