Re: How important do you think it is to pick up frisbees from the floor?
Some reasons our team has considered: - It is a near-guarantee that some shots will be missed per match. Defense will see to that.
- Those frisbees on the ground are in prime position to be picked up and scored in Auto, giving you a head start, and potentially allowing you to score points that effectively "disappear" after autonomous ends
- With a good pickup mechanism, it may be more effitient to spew a bunch of frisbees down field early in the match, then sweep them up and score throughout the rest, removing the need to constantly cross the field
- Even if you don't rely on pickup for most of the match, the ability to score that one clutch buzzer-beating frisbee lying on the floor in front of you could make or break a match
