We were winners along with 25 & 102 at rutgers & i don't believe any of us shifted. 25 used 4 motors for both speed & power. We along with 102 both went with good speed, good traction, & 1 gear. Sometimes, having less to think about can be better. The only times torque to speed change could have helped was getting to the stack, & getting to the top. The thing that really made a difference was a teams ability to do an auto-mode well, or even consistant. And knowing how long it would take to get on top.
