IN response to all of you,
All of you have very good points, but depending on your strategy does truly decide weather you shift or not. We shift on the fly. It is up to our operator to shift, but we used sensors to make a shift on the fly so that we wouldn’t grind gears. I response to not having enough weight left over for our bot, we had a capability of grabbing 3 goals, but we ended up getting rid of that during the practice at regional. We ended up trying to add weight to our bot. and as you all saw we added our fly swatter on the last day at nationals. And we were still under weight

To tell the truth everything can be fixed with simple design changes. But there are just so many things having do with shifting or not. I stick with shifting.
