Go to Post Robots aside, how we handle these situations, communicate with one another, resolve differences and potential conflict, and overcome obstacles defines us all as people. Remember the big picture and have fun. - Rich Kressly [more]

I addressed this in another post, but if you're planning to throw the disc with any resemblance of accuracy over any distance greater than, say, 3ft, you're going to have to do it the way it was intended: right side up, and with spin. I guarantee you we will see 0 robots that emulate the human throw called the hammer. A hammer is hard for a human, it'd be even harder for a robot. (Source: ultimate player)
