Drivers will most likely stay in high gear most of the time, and when they hit a pushing match, they will shift down to be able to torque.
4fps still might be too high for pushing. 3 or 2 fps would ensure victory in a pushing match. 10 fps sounds about right. If the robot is not top heavy. 15 fps, like 254 had, would be sweet.
