They never did it in competition, but those drill gearboxes pictured above (2006 Triplets) are multi-speed. I remember having a discussion with a member of NiagaraFIRST about running each side in a different gear, and getting a repeatable amount of curve. I'm pretty sure they were quite successful during testing.

But as most FIRST teams found out when it came time to actually win games: why shoot crooked when you could shoot straight?
