Gearing That Cannot Overcome Static Friction

I was just curious if any teams have geared multi-speed transmissions such that the higher gears can not, on their own, make the robot start moving from a stand still.

Has anyone tried this and, if so, what did you find to be a good torque threshold to define the 'move/no move' condition?
