we have been shifting for 2 years now...
Shifting is a must
The only problem with shifting is that there are many things that can go wrong
Example:
At Brunswick Eruption, our robot got mad at us because we left it outside in 30 degree weather, in a box, overnight. As soon as we got there we fired it up and our gearboxes went sreeeeeeecch. We use servos that are mounted right above the gear selecter on the bosch drill gearboxes. Everything in programing had to be just right and everything mechanical had to be just right. I think the cold messed up something up in our mechanical design, because metal expands and contracts. So it took us a while to get everything just so again...........
We are working on a shifting on the fly mechanism for this year like no other, so be afraid, very afraid!!
