For several years, the TechnoKats "gear shift" control was a foot pedal that toggled between high and low gears. The drivers eventually decided that it would be better to use separate "go high" and "go low" buttons on a joystick.

That's a good point. Though couldn't you build an indicator light into the driver's station or control software?
I just build things, closest I ever got to the electronics and programming was building an electrical board
So I admit, I'm a little out of my element here.
