2) what accuracy should we expect to achieve?
3) is there a recommended motor for shooter applications?

Thanks,
There are a number of encoders to choose from for your speed sensor, namely the USDigital optical encoder and the magnetic encoders in last year's KoP.

Legal motors are listed in [R48], but I think it's a safe bet to say that you won't be using the Vex motor for your shooter.

Keep [R61] in mind though, because that specifically disallows the use of Jaguars' closed feedback loops.
