Re: Is a shifting transmission really necessary?

Still Raul... your point has been well made.
I may be incorrect but I’m almost positive that 469 2003 also had a shifting transmission.....

But Raul's point is well taken, I can list off a ton of bots just off the top of my head that have performed very well without shifting transmissions

2002 Divisional Champions without Shifting Transmissions
71, 144, 64, 25,
2003 Divisional Champions without Shifting Transmissions
292, 236, 175, 341, 25, 494, 111,

These are just teams off the top of my head...I can't guarantee 100% correctness...

I'm a firm believe that shifting transmissions are great to have, but they certainly aren't a guaranteed winning bot, a good driver and a good mechanism will take you far in any game.
