The Sonic Shifter has been 1519's preferred drive base gearbox for most of a decade, starting in 2014 and continuing through the 2019 FRC game. We love the durable construction, good performance, ratio versatility, and minor evolutionary updates that were made over the years. By essentially re-using most of the components from the prior Super Shifter, and releasing minor updates from year-to-year, teams could reduce costs by re-using old gearboxes and just purchasing new upgrades when needed. Oh, and did I mention that these gearboxes are tough as nails? I wouldn't be surprised if we have over 1000 hours of driving time on these gearboxes (250 hours in each of 4 years) and we've never had a gear, bearing, or shaft wear out. (We have had some issues with the pneumatic shift mechanism, but the core gearbox is as rugged as could be.) We're sorry to see that this product is approaching end of life, as they have been the go-to gearbox for our best robots so far!
