Honestly, with the size of the field, and the amount of stuff that's on it, I don't see a need for shifting. There's not enough space to really get up to speed anyway.
In my opinion, there is a place for shifters in FTC. A heavy FTC robot with decently grippy wheels (such as rubber lego tires) has to be geared really slow to be traction limited.
