Go to Post Competition and inspiration go hand in hand. Those who inspire will be pushed to do it again and again by those who see this as a healthy competition. Those who are inspired will compete to be an inspiration to others. You can have your cake (competition) and eat it (inspire) too. - Andy Baker [more]

Get a transmission if you can afford one or make one of your own so that you can catch the other robots and then be able to shift to torque. May I also suggest that you create a mechanism to flip the Frisbees over? Many teams launchers rely on the lift that the dent in the Frisbee creates when it is rotating. If the Frisbee is upside down, the Frisbee will fly differently.
