Re: Single vs Multiple Speed Gearbox

We had a single speed gearbox this year and played a TON of defense. Even though we did not have very high torque, we still played great defense by gaining speed and ramming the opponent before they made a shot. Other teams we had competed with used two speed gearboxes, but they mostly stuck to high or low gears and did not venture out of the driver's speed and torque comfort zone. It all depends on how your driver uses the different setups.
