I think at the highest echelon of game play, you will be shocked at how few frisbees will be missed and how few will be on the floor.

The primary reason to install a ground pickup is to enable increased auton scores.

In time studies we did at Waterford, we saw differences in timing between wall pickup and floor feed, but not as much as you would initially guess. The only pickup point that saved substantial time is the grouping on the center line because you can drive through them linearly to pick them up.

Ground pickups have an added advantage. They are complimentary to full-field shooters. However, full-field shooters have already been largely negated, so that point is arguable.

We're looking at a ground feed to add to our auton score. We've been looking all season, but this is the first point at which we've been able to focus on it. Those auton frisbees are critical at double points.
