Re: Alternate encoders?

Unfortunately, no. The design we're going with will have 2 550's powering each wheel, and they'll be mounted directly onto both ends of the shaft (through an appropriate gearbox). As you can imagine, this design does present some interesting challenges... like how to get an encoder on there!
