Ingo Althöfer from Jena University (Germany) is promoting Frisbee Robot Go. An artistic picture is http://www.althofer.de/robot-play/frisbee-robot-go.jpg

In the 2016 Computer Olympiad (to take place in Leiden (NL) at the end of June 2016), a Frisbee Go simulation will be one of the disciplines: When a player aims for cell (i,j), the stone will go to (i,j) with probability 1 - 4*eps, and to (i-1,j), (i+1,j), (i,j-1), (i,j+1) with probability eps each. A natural choice would be parameter eps = 1/6. This also allows to play the simulation with the help of a 6-sided die.
