I would figure many teams would jump to it if all they had to do was pay an extra $500 to the reg. fee to get those in the kits.

I wouldnt want to pay any extra money for a kit where im not going to use the extra 500 dollars in components.

Until a robot NEEDS to shift to function in a game, i see no need to include a 2 speed tranny in the KOP.

If you have extra cash go buy some AMs or some dewalts...

I can say with a lot of confidence however, that most FIRST teams can design a 2 speed transmission themselves, and save some money....you have all the time in the world in the offseason... (OHH LOOK WHAT TIME IT IS...)
