If your image is some insane resolution could you just link the image instead of embedding it....the image is too big for my browser even in 1080p mode.
Coming from someone who has used shifters in FRC before. You would much rather design a system that can escape pushing as opposed to something that could just plow through something.
There's no glaring need for shifters in the FTC drivetrain, but I can see it being useful in mechanism design. I hope those gears in the AM motors are all metal. I don't want to have to experience the plastic any-more.
