Who Is Planning On Harvesting Fribees Off The Floor?

We are working on it and hope to have a successful picker-upper.

So far we have a device that can reliably lift them off the floor using two sets of wheels with a vertical axis. Our prototype call also pick them up if they are against a wall or in a corner. Hopefully we can post a pic or video this weekend.

Transport to the shooter is not solved yet but we have a prototype that works a little bit, sometimes, on good days.

Our thinking is this: the easiest way to get frisbees to shoot might be to have a good shooter down by the slots. If he misses we can pick them up and convert them. Anyway, that's the thinking.
