We are using 3-Cim Ball shifters, with low gear at 7.5, and high gear at 2.81. We are using 4" wheels. In order to maximize acceleration, the students are working on some automatic shifting. Low gear hits about 10-ft/s.

If I understand you correctly, we're getting across the field faster with single speed 2-CIM gearboxes based on our time trials with a tote full of spare parts to simulate full robot weight. As strange as it sounds, you'd probably get across the field faster with slower gearing; I suggest you do
more math.
