Removing High Speed in AM Super Shifter

[JB]

Our team has come to the realization that we have absolutely no need for the second speed that is available in our AM Super Shifters. In the beginning of the season we thought we would be traversing the field multiple times leading us to chose the SS. However, at our first competition we maybe crossed the barrier two or three times and never went into high gear. We have also realized that our drive train may have been geared to high seeing as how are robot jumped more than turned. Ultimately we would like to remove the second stage of the super shift along with all other pneumatic related components to give us more weight to play with elsewhere on the robot. We have thought about changing gear boxes but out drive plates are designed around Super Shifters and the allocated 6 hours we have before Mount Olive would not allow us change this.

I have thought about this for a while and I think that if we just remove the gears and leave all the associated shafts we will be able to take out the pneumatics and achieve the desired results. Any clarification into this subject would be great.
