We found shifting to be quite useful.
In low gear, we were able to push with about 250 lbf.
In high gear, we could go about 12 feet per second and we were able to coast almost half the length of the field.
The complexity was worth it. But beware. You really need a good gearbox designer to make the thing work efficiently.
We still had a few bugs in the system, but we should have the Mark III gearbox ready to go this year.
Maybe four speeds. Or a clutch so we can coast farther. The possibilities are endless....
