OK they didn't shift. Their solution to having both a fast robot and a strong one (and they could switch between the two) wasn't by shifting gears but the end result was the same.

Shifting is NOT necessary if you have a system like this.

How would you classify systems that have wheels spinning at different speeds but geared off the same motors, where the driver can select which ones are contacting the carpet?
