Shifting with only 1 cylinder has its perks, but it's not for every system. If your transmissions are centered in your bot, it makes it annoying to rout different subsystems around the cylinders, and it also limits putting a chassis member there. We did this for our 2k5 bot, AimBot. It works best if the transmissions are direct driving one of the front wheels (or in your case, front pulley.)
PS, pakratt, wanna have sam shoot me an email? We're doing pre season planning, and I'm interested in a few details for the upcoming season. Thanks!
