One speed vs Two speed gearboxes

[Jared]

It really depends on your strategy. That said, a reliable shifting gearbox will never hurt.

If you look at some very successful teams, you'll see that some teams like 254 have run two speed transmissions for over 10 years. On the other hand, team 118 didn't have a two speed gearbox in 2011, 2012, 2013, or 2014, and they were very successful. 118 has also put brakes on their gearbox in the recent past too.

I've seen you say this a few times. How would you set up an auto-shift system? When do you shift up and shift down?
