Shifting Transmissions are somewhat overhyped. We were very competitive this year and didn't use them. 2006's game seem to be wide open and we used AM shifters and got good use from them. You just got to look at the game to see if it's worth your investment of time and money. If they release another game like 2004 First frenzy, I suspect most experienced teams would invest time and resources to other robot attributes.

This seems to be a thread twice a year on average.
