Re: AM Super Shifters

Hi all,
We have two AndyMark super shifters with two motors going into each transmission, and servos that change the gears. We definitely look forward to using them and seeing our robot fly around the track.

My question is: How has your team programmed them? My idea is to have two switches on the joystick: one to switch the transmission into the first gear and the second button to switch it into the second gear.

Also I read on the AndyMarrk website that we should ease off the accelerator when we shift; especcially since we are using the servo shifter. Has anyone had any problems with that?

Thanks!!!
