We're using java and the iterative robot template, so a lot of the work was done for us.

Don't sell yourself short -- as I'm fond of saying, without programmers, robots would just be expensive paperweights.
What was your thought process behind your autoshifting algorithm? Are you using the encoders to predict the current draw of the motors, and trying to minimize that, or are you trying to maximize your acceleration?
Great work 95!
