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).
team 69 did the same in 2001 and 2002
We used pneumatics to shift on the fly for 2002 using the big atwoods i believe if you need a diagram i can find one just email me xdohhhx@aol.com

also to reply to the programming reducing it would work but not give you the same aspect as shifting.

This year we are going to have an awesome drive train again! Watch out NH and TX!
