After tinkering around with our 3 speeds from last year, we realized that it took almost no effort at all to move the shifting rod in and out to engage the gears by way of the balls.

I expect the same 3 general speeds as last year, with an added high torque super low speed, and a "crazy kill anything in its path" high speed.

I think we will see 3 speeds from them again this year. I think 5 is a bit ambitious and very unnecessary. But if you do have a strong 5-speed in competition, good job and kudos to you.

Servo it is.

Re: pic: 222 TIGERTRONS TEASER

I would think that three speeds should be more than sufficient this year. High speed for sprinting, medium for meneuvering, and low speed for pushing other bots around. Then again our team is about 300 years away from every making any kind of gearbox, or even modifying the stuff we have to even get two speeds.
