Yeah I agree. I am still not sure which I prefer.
With a fresh set of wheels, and a robot completely maxed out (120lb bot + 20 lb bumpers + 13lb Battery) with the standard VexPro Ball shifter (2 stage, default gearing) geared down again 1.4:1, we still ran out of traction before running out of torque in both High and Low gears.
