Classifying a "Clutchless Manual" Transmission

So, the crystal ball isn't working well when it comes to predicting the future of the FE Team Challenge

At any rate, that's why we have polls right?

The question is: How to you classify a Sequential Manual Gearbox for purposes of the competition? For those unfamiliar, it's basically a transmission that has an electronic clutch (no pedal) and sometimes an "Automatic" feature.

"Manual" is pretty simple: clutch pedal, gear throw.
"Automatic" is more complex but simple: some have "Manumatic" shift-gates, but it still has an automatic transmission hooked to it, generally with a torque converter.
The "SMG" is what? Here's a few Wikipedia entries that I looked at, but figured I'd pitch it to the group for more info:


Electrohydraulic Manual Transmission

Sequential Manual Gearbox
Semi-Automatic Transmission
(also known as "Clutchless Manual", "Automated Manual", etc.).

Since I'm not an expert on transmissions by any stretch, I've posted the poll for more insight.

If you vote, all I ask is that you have an understanding about how it works, and explain why you voted as such...

Thanks!

The Commish
