Go to Post To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring. - Collin Fultz [more]

bosch motors

so, if we used the Bosch gearbox......would that, say, lower our speed or reduce our torque compared to having a gearbox that fully switched gears using pneumatics and stuff like that?? because I'm not sure how powerful these Bosch motors would be compared to different gear ratios
It depends on the gearbox design you would use outside of the Bosch transmission. You can also find equations and charts on this site to help you determine the benefits and disadvantages of an external gearbox.

also, how would we design the Bosch motor to shift gears, if we were to use it as a shifting motor?? pneumatics?
Check the previous replies. Some teams use pneumatics, others use the servo motors in the kit. I would also highly recommend that you do a detailed check through the white papers of this site. There are many different designs here, so look around. My team is currently trying out the most recent dual motor transmission design, as it looks very promising.
