how to get the speed of the motor

Is there a method of getting the speed of the motors without using Jaguar or PWM objects in our code? (the actual speed of the motor, instead of telling the motor which speed to spin at)

You would have to mount an encoder on the gearbox and read the speed from that.

Thanks! We'll be trying that out soon.
