It took us all 6 weeks last year. We almost did not pull it off. We switch gears using a servo. The only problem was that once we were in High Gear we could no longer switch down and a few of the dowel pins kept on falling out. So what we are going to try to do this season is get rid of the servos and see if we can switch gears using the pneumatics and tack weld the dowel pins in so they do not fly out.
