It really depends on the nature of the competition and the strategy of your robot; a yes or no wouldn't really be adequate. Last year, you could get away with a non-shifter (we opted for enough motors that we could gear up and still have massive torque) and focus on other things. We had an exclusive goal-grabber, but hybrids might find it advantageous to shift.
