Re: One speed vs Two speed gearboxes

I was watching one of the Behind The Lines videos which was on drive train design and they discussed modifying a 2-speed shifting gearbox to be one speed and when you shift, the motors run a different system on your robot. This is great for a game where you are either driving or doing another high load/speed task. For example, climbing in games like 2013 and 2010. Has anyone done this before? How effective was it?
