I will try my best without the inventor pic.
Our pneumatic cylinder pushes a rod that ataches to two shifting forks. They thn move the "plunger" to push out the balls. The rod that the cylinder pushes has aplate on it. On this plate are two roll pins positioned verticly. When the air is dumped from the primary cylinder and put into the cylinder with the wedge, the wedge pushes between the two roll pins moving the primary cylinder a little bnit left or right depending on which gear we were coming from to go to second.

[edit/]Here is a pic. of it on the bot [/edit]
