Re: Multi-Speed Gearboxes

In my experiences, two is plenty. One high torque, the other high speed. Eight is too much for the driver to think about, and the problem of sifting comes, it is far to complected and useless, but if you planning of hitting highway speeds around the track, that might not be such a bad idea. Good Luck on that though..... Now that I think of it, Does FIRST have a rule limiting the speed of your robot?
