But for the rest of it, if my team decided to do this next year, how hard would it be on the programmers?

last year we just had one pneumatic solenoid that was split with a T joint and was connected to 2 pneumatic pistons that shifted. so they would always shift at the same time. The joystick on our trigger would control the shift
by the way, last year's was a ball shift, which did not need some sort of timing mechanism
