when thinking about shifting on the fly, keep in mind, that for all practical purposes, this is only accomplised by using a Pneumatic. This is the bad part. I too like team 60's four gearboxes, but that is the problem. They have four gearboxes. If you have four gearboxes, shifting each one, you have just used four pneumatics, which leaves you with only one for use anywhere else on the robot. For many teams this year, only having one pneumatic usable, they would not have been able to release the goals, like 60.

Anyways, I think it is a great idea if you dont have any other use for those pneumatics.
