Re: Shifting Gearboxes
Searching around will find you a treasure trove of advantages, but here's a useful thread for disadvantages and look fors when shifting.

Pay attention to the date of the thread. This was before teams had ever used ball shifters in an official FRC match, because they had been released after the 2012 season.
