Gearing for a Very High Speed

I am wondering if this would be a good idea. To have a robot that is 2 speed and 6cims. Low for around 7 fps and high would be 18-20 fps. The High might sound uncontrollable but what I was thinking is that we could use a button so that when it is pressed, the motors use 100% power but when it isnt it uses 50%. This would essentially give us 4 speeds with a 2 speed gearbox.
