Obviously team 647 used the DeWALT transmissions this year (Joe P. one of our mentors wrote the white paper) we absolutely loved the transmissions because of there weight. They weight far less then the kit transmissions and provided on the fly 3 speed shifting. We ran the robot normally in 2nd gear and used 1st when we need to push another robot. We rarely used 3rd gear unless we needed to fly across the field, which did come in handy at different times. Could we have competed just as effectively with out the shifting transmissions probably but did the transmissions help us when we got in to tight situations most definitely. In addition, since they are so lightweight we would have probably used them even if we did not want to shift. We even used them on are arm and our extension without shifting capability.
