All shafts are on bearings and no comparison testing was done. There is reduction built into the gear arrangement and it's driven by a custom single reduction gearbox. The reason we ran 4" wheels for the first time was to reduce the reduction needed.
This would seem to imply single speed. I would be very interested to see a shifter for FRC that only needed a single reduction.
