Re: Encoder Problem.
I've ran into weird errors with Java when the leading character isn't a lowercase letter, hence my suggestion.
I don't believe there's any problem with the order of the reset() and start() calls,...

Re: Encoder Problem.
Try changing "TestEnc" to "testEnc". You're not supposed to capitalize variable names (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Programming/Variables#Identifiers).

Re: Gearbox Modification
I personally disagree, as R33 does not ban modification of gearboxes, only motors, and the snow blower motor gearbox is not explicitly deemed as integral to the system.

Re: Pool Noodle Rollers?
