Actually, many top tier teams do design to shift on the fly. One of the primary reasons teams use transmissions that do not shift on the fly is is due to the additional complexity in machining that's typically required for these sorts of designs.

However, if I had more time, I'd press the arguement that though most definitely a nice feature, shifting on the fly isn't a game breaking feature.

However let it be known that there's a difference between:

1. Shifting on the fly.
2. Shifting after being stopped momentarily.
3. Stoping, shifting, and slowly moving forward for components to engage.

I would strongly suggest that transmissions of type 1 or 2 be used...

If I didn't have finals this week.. there'd be much more to this post. I'm sure others will follow through with their thoughts as they have done so well before.

Let me also note that most of the time shifting is actually done through software, so "learning how to shift" for drivers isn't exactly the same difficulty of learning to drive stick on a car. When to implement it in a match, however, is a different matter.
