I would like a 2 speed shifter, which could be directly driven to a 4" wheel.

I'm not sure on the gearing, but I would like the actual output to be 12 ft/s high and 6 ft/s low.

There should only be one reduction done after the initial motor combiner, and all shafts should be riding on ball bearings. I've definitely seen the adverse effects of loss in efficiency. This year's transmission with 2 less reduction stages (last year 4 speed, this year 2 speed) has done wonders, even at the same output spec.

But, if I had to pick something that is easily accessible off of these boards, I would 100%, without a doubt go for the team 33 style blind shifter. These things are absolutely beautiful, and NEVER have to be maintenanced.
