I'm sure it's more complicated than I'm making it sound, but as I said, I'm stuck in the realm of theory, here.
Programming the robot to shift really shouldn't be too complicated, with encoders measuring the speed of the output shaft or the axles. Especially since they calculated the power curves and everything. With the power curves, they can determine the best shift point to gain the most power. Finding the shift points is the hard part. Then you prgram it to shift when the encoders measure a certain speed determined by you to be your shift point. You can also calculate downshift points as well the same way.
