Ian pretty much hit it on the head. if you look closely at the output sprocket, there are actually two sprockets on two shafts spinning in opposite directions. These are going to run the two wheels of our shooter. The two speeds were intended as an insurance policy so that if we get to make the shooter wheels as heavy as we would like, we can still spin them up to speed using the two speed gearbox (we plan on using one fisherprice motor). I'm sure someone will take issue with this, so please feel free give your feedback.

I like the idea of having a dump and shoot speed though...
