Has anybody had any experience using Solenoid's on their transmissions?? I think it would be a lot better especially for weight and speed of changing gears.

We used AndyMark Supershifters with pneumatic shifters on our 2012 robot Thermite. Seeing as i'm controls captain, I come from a different perspective. The code was incredibly simple and we used the trigger of the joystick to quickly shift back and forth between gears. Seeing as we already had the compressor on board for other elements of the robot, weight was really the concern for the pneumatics element.
