Yes! being able to sit and push is very important and people have mention having a high speed gear to break away. Its also important for the defensive bot to have a high gear because i saw in several matches that a team that was ment as a pusher couldn't catch up to the other robot to do what it was designed to. The 2 speed transmition allows you all this flexibility. I think three speeds is a bit overkill however, but if you have the weight...why not.
