2001 we used a servo to shift. We got it working well so it never failed to shift.

2002 we built a custom transmission so we could shift on the fly, but this year we decided to try the new drill motor transmission that comes with the kit. We got the shifting to work with just a servo, and it has worked 100% so far (though we've only had a running base for a day or so).
