Picking up 2 discs side-by side: much harder due to constraints and lower room for error. But why would anyone want to do that?

In auton the frisbees that are "free game" are line up side by side, why not pick up both at once? 7 frisbee auton in top goal = 42 points. Add in a 10 point climb and you just beat the teams that score 4 alliance disks in tower goal and climb high...and there is still teleop scoring to be had! Auton is key, like most years, and because of that, a frisbee pick-up mechanism should be strongly considered.
