Who Is Planning On Harvesting Fribees Off The Floor?

It was nearly unanimous on the day after kickoff that we wanted to pickup from the floor.

A few days later we decided that picking up off the floor was going to be the last thing on our list.

With our limited resources this year we decided that spending time on floor pickup probably wasn't worth our time as it doesn't gain you points (except in autonomous) just "options". With that said we are focusing on a shooter and climber. At this time floor pickup doesn't look so good for us due to the constraint's given to us (54" rule...) and our strategy.

How long would it take to scoop up and accurately shoot 10 disks scattered about the field for 30 points? Probably longer than climbing the tower for 30. (depending on your climber.)
