We have a hopper with a flat, aluminum bottom to bring our frisbees up to our shooter (
Here is a picture of the robot). the frisbees stack on top of each other, which means that with a full load of four frisbees, the first three come off from on top of another frisbee. Those three are all accurate. The fourth comes off the flat aluminum sheet at the bottom of the hopper, which causes it to go into the shooter faster, and miss high. We were wondering if it would be legal to cut up/cut holes in one of our practice frisbees, and bolt or rivet it to the bottom of the hopper, on top of the aluminum plate. therefore making the surface from which each frisbee comes from equal.
In short- can we install game pieces on the robot without failing inspection?

I got to talk with Mr. Flowers briefly last year. I told him that I had wanted to be part of FIRST since about 1980. It was nearly a quarter-century later when my son entered high school and I joined the TechnoKats as a mentor. - Alan Anderson [more]
