Re: Ball Shifter Vs. Dog Shifter?

We ran Ball Shifters on our robot this year. We put them through a lot, 2 regionals champs and 2 off seasons full of heavy defence (We did regrease them before champs). Even after all that there was almost no wear and the shifting was only marginally less smooth. The only issue both us and 5031 had with them is they tend to sag over time but it does not seem to have a noticeable effect on robot performance.
