Re: So, How do you shift?

Our team uses controllers that we bought at radio shack. They were first usb but then we modified them to ports. We have an automatic 4 speed transmission or it can also be manual. We have a toggle switch so you can choose between manual or automatic. We use encoders when it is in automatic to tell when to shift gears at the best point. When it is in manual we switch gears by the top thumb buttons. When the top thumb button is pushed on the left joystick we downshift but when it is pushed on the right side it shifts up. When we are in automatic or manual you can press the trigger button on either joystick and it will shift down to 1st.
