Re: 2 Speed Transmissions in the Future

The assumption here also seems to be that tank-drive wheeled robots are the future of FIRST.

Omni and meccanum are barely controllable in low gear. Swerve drives are complex enough without the addition of multiple speeds. Track-drives have a tendency to throw belts at high speeds...

Not that these drive systems are incompatible with 2-speeds, its just that most teams are unlikely to build them.

There are other-ways to improve drivetrian usefulness then to add another gear...
