Re: Motor balancing (encoders?)
It turned out that last year's robot had a mechanical "boo boo" because of one jumper. One victor had jumpers for both the "brake" and "coast" options. We did not notice it until 2 weeks ago. So for the whole competition, we had one motor stopping and the other one stopping a few seconds after the other one... That explained why the autonomous mode last year for us really sucked. Like I say everytime: the problem is the hardware, not the software.
