Re: 2 Motor gear box (Super shifter)
Every team gets toughboxes which are single speed gearboxes that can take 1 or two motors, as a third year team we did not get a super shifter nor were we supposed to.

If you want a two speed gearbox (dual ratios so say your motor does 1ft-lb at 6k rpm you could have the option of say 2k rpm and 3ft-lbs of torque or 3k rpm and 2ft-lbs of torque) you pretty much have to get an andymark one as they design them specifically for the CIM motors that first lets you use.
