in the off season we experiment with different drive train and other ways to improve our robot for the off-season events so let me know what you think
Very well implemented, though I'd consider game-by-game whether you really need supershifters. Something lighter, depending on your ratio. We've put shifters on robots with omnis, but not often (or at least not wisely) and only after considering our exact strategy. You won't be pushing.

I'd also think hard about exactly how you--or rather, your drivers--want to control it. Consider it, design it, code, test it, and then test it again. And again... I've seen teams (ours included), regardless of programmer skill, have serious problems in this area with such agile drivetrains. Leave time for driver practice!
