Re: Are two speed transmissions worth it?

I think that it sometimes depends on the game too. If there's a lot of empty field to drive across like last year but still with the need for high torque, a 2 speed transmission was great. This year, there wasn't as big of a need for both a high speed or a low speed, you could go either way and win pushing matches or try to just swerve around the defense altogether. We used 2 speed transmissions for at least the past 2 seasons, and there have been benefits to it both times, especially last year.
