Well, I'm not really sure about the complexity of it but I know that Tigerbolt had a gear shifter way back in 1995 (not a typo). Supposedly it worked pretty well for them as they managed 3rd place at regionals and 5th place at Nationals. I've seen pictures (including closeups of the drive train area) and it seems a fairly simple design with just the servos moving the gear shifting lever. The servors are connected together too. I might be able to get a scanned copy if anyones really interested in looking. I think the solution they came up with is fairly simple and elegant.
