Also, while it is possible to use only one encoder while using my system, I must admit that it is more prudent to use two. That being said, I have already admitted that for this application you solution would be a better fit. However, for applications with a more predictable load, my system becomes more competitive.

Okay, that makes sense. I admit, your design is a rather clever workaround to the problem presented in <R74>. I can see how, with the correct setup (possibly an electronic regulator), your system could be superior to mine, in terms of weight savings.
