Yes, they auto-reset. The datasheet is on AndyMark's site

Essentially the goal is to have a high speed which is great for getting across long distances fast and a low speed which is good for fine maneuvering/pushing.
If you are having your high speed at 12fps (I think that's what you're saying?) there really isn't much incentive to use shifters anyway.
When robots use shifters, its usually because they want to have a really fast gearing that would stall the motors if you tried to push at that gearing. Therefore, its best to be able to downshift so you can hold your own if you get into a confrontation. 12fps isn't much for a high gear, that's usually what people do in single speed setups.
