Re: Are two speed transmissions worth it?
There is no correct answer here.
The game greatly determines if you'll need to shift or not. This year we chose to go with a 6WD single speed, and NO ONE on our team regrets that decision. Our drivetrain was very maneuverable and most of all...agile. We could get from A to B in an instant (or in the case of Finals match 3 of the Boston regional, middle of the field to top of 69 in 3 seconds).
We wanted our robot to score, and concentrate on scoring. If we were going to get in a pushing match, we were going to be wasting our time. We would just go out and if someone was getting in our way, use our agile-ness to "juke" our opponents out.
To shift or not to shift...that is the question.....and i think the best time to answer it is the first saturday in January.

Only think of Gracious Professionalism as a standard to work toward personally. Never use it as a gauge to point out someone else’s shortcomings.
