Re: Andy Mark Super Shifters

if you're using servo shifting you robot will take a few seconds to shift, and the robot can't be moving. That takes away valuable time that you could be using to be scoring or doing other things. Pneumatic shifting is faster (takes less than a second), and you can shift while your robot is driving at full speed. Unless your team insists on not having pneumatics in your robot for some reason the pneumatic shifting is most definitely the preferable method.
