Re: Why not to shift?
If you do decide to use shifting gearboxes, be sure that you have easy access to the shifting mechanism. We had this problem with a summer robot and had to cut holes in our bellypan (solid sheet of 1/8" aluminum) at Calgames this year.
As to disadvantages, they take up more space and weight because of the shifting mechanism and extra gears
