Re: Is a shifting transmission really necessary?

Well, for what it's worth, 1293 ran one speed last year. The end result wasn't the speediest thing on two wheels and casters (see http://www.billfredinthenighttime.co...owmotor_hi.wmv for video), but we could easily push around an office chair with a high school junior (now senior, I think) on it, which runs about the weight of a mobile goal. And we could juke and jive with the best of them.

This year, a two-speed is one of the things we've spoken of. Of course, <Dave-speak>things could multiply at any given time.</Dave-speak>
