Re: Installing Servo Shifter on SuperShifter
Although we have never used Andy Mark gear boxes with servo shifters when used with dewalts on our 2006 robot the servos did not perform so well. The long shifting times and lack of power made shifting a nightmare and it got so bad during the off season that we would shift the bot by hand for demonstrations.

I personally think the weight for one precharged tank and two cylinders would be more than worth not having to worry about servo shifting.
