disk hopper ideas

[MrForbes]

We got our prototype working. But it is designed to use pneumatics...because we want to use them for another robot feature, and they're easy once you get the compressor running and the plumbing for the pressure regulator figured out.

What advantages do a five-gallon bucket give that three aluminum posts don't give at less weight?

My immediately response to that would be error correction. With the three posts, I suppose there's a way for a frisbee to deform out.

HOWEVER, I do not necessarily believe that the advantage will be terrible great. With a properly tuned system, I expect the differences to be greatly marginalized.
