Go to Post FIRST is difficult and it is challenging, but you aren’t necessarily required to go off and build an 8 motor drivetrain and 4 motor / 8 pneumatic piston arm mechanism for the heck of it when a 2 motor non-shifting drivetrain and 2 motor arm does just as good a job. - Bill Gold [more]

That's an excellent idea actually, each robot can have like a long shaft coming from the top (yeah let's be mature guys). And a shooter, the shafts would have to be a certain height or something, and then the robots would have to somehow launch the disks and have them land on these shafts, or sticks, and then which ever team with the least disks would win. I think that's a great idea. Yeah, the human players would throw the disks into these "goal poles" and it would be harder with the robots moving, or the human players could throw the disks into their own robots so the robots have more "ammo" for shooting.

Hm here's a couple of ideas, I actually think it could work. I'm thinking the foam disks toy gun for an ammo thing.
