254 shifts

This year team 254 shifted. We used servos to shift the drill transmissions. In low gear we went about 3ft/s and in high we went about 9ft/s. We made it up the hill during auton from 3.5-3.8 seconds. We won SVR (with 115 & 852) and were the finalists at Sacramento (with 599 &256). However, our partners did not shift at either event. At Nats, we paired up with 27 & 192. 192 shifts as well, but I believe 27 does not. We made it to the semifinals.
Last year (I know this is about this year) we used a shift-on-the-fly transmission with 1.5ft/s in low and 13ft/s in high that coupled the drills and the CIMs.
