Shifting Transmission: Auto or Manual?

I'm curious about how different teams have implemented a two speed drivetrain. I can see a few scenarios:
  • Completely manual, the driver always selects which speed to use.
  • Fully auto, the controller takes care of it based on ground speed or amp draw (or something else).
  • A mix of the two.
Just curious. What has your team done and how well did it work?
