Thanks.
In retrospect I think it's pretty ugly, but it was state of the art for about a month. Maybe I just move onto new designs too quickly...


We shifted a decent amount each match.
At our first regional, our driver "forgot to shift" a lot. By the end he could handle it well, and transitioned frequently depending on the situation.

Shifting can be very handy, but of course... this is a well discussed subject.
Feel free to search for old threads which discuss the pros/cons of a shifter.
