One speed vs Two speed gearboxes

In the context of Aerial Assist, I agree with this. I believe our speed on the field was a component of our success this season.

For Aerial Assist, if your strategy played that way it is very true, however it's dangerous to think that an extremely high speed is required for all games, and that was the point I was trying to get across to asid61. Your strategy for this year was more successful with a higher speed and you pulled it off amazingly well. That being said, running your same speeds in a different year - 2012, for instance - may not play as well to your strategy than slightly lower, more controllable speeds. Of course I know you understand this, but I'm posting this to clarify for asid61.
