This may seem like rookie questions, but I am from a rookie team.
1) How do I connect the photosensors provided in the kop.
2) How do I connect the encoders from the kop.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Photoswitches: check this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88548&highlight=wiring+the+photo
This post is what we used but you only need to use one of the signal wires to the digital sidecar: I've wired the sensor with:
Blue: +12v from PDB
Brown: Ground on PDB
White: a DS signal pin
Black: another DS signal pin
Encoders: start with this document (toward the end): http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2011_Assets/Kit_of_Parts/2011_Sensor_Manual.pdf
