If so, some pics or descriptions please.

Here are a couple of designs used by many teams. When used correctly, the Bosch gearbox can do just fine... just be careful to be fully stationary when shifting gears.

Go to the "Resources" page.
Look at the "Single Motor Gear Switching Assembly" and the "Dual Motor Gear Switching Assembly" white papers.
This single motor assembly (or a derivation of it) has been used by over 50 (maybe 100?) FIRST teams.
