Re: So, How do you shift?

we have an automatic or manual 4 speed. I believe we took the idea from team 33 killer bees. We use encoders to tell our pistons when to fire. this way we can determine the best shift points. Just in case the encoders go out we can switch to manual and we use 1 of the top buttons on the right to go up and one on the left to go down. We can also use either trigger to drop into 1st gear for pushing(or staying stationary better) or by pushing both triggers it goes into 1st gear and shuts off the compressor to give a little added power.
