Re: Shifting while not going straight

We had a shifting Mecanum this year, but it was for PTO purposes instead of two speeds. We played the whole match with the wheels engaged, then went to hang at the end. Once we were lined up under the bar we hit the climb button, which shifted all the wheels into PTO mode. The shaft in the middle of the chassis and the spools powered our climbing mechanism.
