Re: FRC shifting gears

Most commonly pneumatics, though a few use servos, especially if the robot will not have any other pneumatic systems. AndyMark and VexPro shifters have pneumatic parts or kits referenced from their web pages, and AM also has servo kits. Due to the limits of servos allowed by recent FRC rules, servos do not provide as much force or speed in shifting, making pneumatics the favored method.
