In teleop, we will have our robot controled by one joystick, and the encoders will be used to make sure that the ratio of the input values (left, right) is the same as the output (left, right).

Also, thanks for the information about encoders. I can figure out where each wire goes, but is there some sort of connector I have to wire the encoder to to connect it to the jaguar?
