Re: How to pick up a frisbee

Sure it's much easier to go across the field to your alliance's feeding station and grab four discs, but think about it. After autonomous mode, you'd have 3 robots fighting for discs at the alliance feeding station. Sure there's enough slots for all three to be filled at the same time, but realistically, all three would not be fed at the same time, as the corner is very small and can barely fit all three robots there assuming that they are average sized. Plus, you have to worry about d-bots getting in your way and defending your feeding station. If you can pick up discs from the ground quick enough, it would be a HUGE advantage to you, and it would be beneficial during autonomous too, because then you can pick up discs from the ground and shoot them during auton for additional points (after you've shot your preloaded discs). And as for there being a lack of discs on the ground, the goals are fairly large but with the amount of defense that's possible, I can see a LOT of missed shots when a d-bot knocks a scoring bot off of alignment. We saw this last year with fender-shooters and d-bots.
