IN your case yes it is a little simpler but think all that power you draw with fluffy we only had 2 (4 in all) motors on each side and we could barley last one match only those 4. on the other head yes ots simple but in order to get maxium speed and torque you need to either shift or have CVT. Cvt is a litle bit to complicated and not as reliable as shifting. We only had to gears and what we can do with those blows my mind. I dont mean to bragg but we were playing with fluffy.(last years bot totaly unchanged except for a few bolts) A few of our enginners wanted to see what she could do well, we had her climing a 60 degree angle like it was cake it felt like a stunt from the dukes of hazzard. But any ways, in a higher gear becuse we have so much traction we would have just stalled the motors and popped the brakerr or if we lost traction we would have just spun our treds at a high rpm and make no progress. Well becuase of a lower gear and shift on the fly all we had to do was flip a switch. this gear shifting gives us an advantage more power and lower rpms allowing us to get maxium power and never really loose traction and using the power curve to the best of it ability.
