Automatic is cool but I would stick with manual so I could have the choice between speed and power right at my fingertips if I was driving.

We made the clutch disk and pressed the pins in. Getting that and the hex broach through the center straight was probably the trickiest part of the whole robot.
There are downloads of the Inventor files for these parts
here .
The automatic was to have manual override for that very reason. Probably more importantly though, speed sensing would give the controller feedback on actual motor speed, which would have made balancing the drive simpler.
