Tristan, we were definitely going with the pneumatic shifting option so I think that would be an Exciting project for the programming team.
As to bards concerns here is my super detailed cad model I just made . Sorry if I slow some of your computers down trying to view it.

Tensioners would be added where needed.

Looks good to me. Though ideally if you plan your wheel spacing correctly you shouldn't need chain tensioners.

That depends on the application, really. In 2007 we played as a primarily defensive robot and had a similarly low gear. We were able to simultaneously push 3 robots sideways on several occasions. For this years game, however, I would agree it's probably a bit excessive, but again, depends on what you need it for.
