John Bono is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm sorry, I was working on the assumption that the person asking was rather new (although this is my second year with first and I indeed have multi-gear drive trains). It just seems pointless unless you have a lot of shoving to do--and our team doesn't want to use the valuable space for the servo or piston, and it seems to me not many teams would have (we ALWAYS max out our pistons in any concept sketch). And servos just don't have a whole lot of umph to them.
Also, the real force you should be worried about is friction with this year's surfaces, I wouldn't expect you to be able to get a friction coefficient of more than .3 or so (I guess as high as .7 is possible if you're awesome cool), and the drill motors can put out more power than that on low if I recall (then again, I could be a ranting moron--chances of which are high).
