Encoder recommendation for Banebots RS550 ?

Hello all,

I'm brand new to FIRST this year as a Mentor and I'm facing the challenge of encoder and sensor selection.

I've ordered several banebots RS-550-B motors which have a 3/8" encoder backshaft. This will be coupled to a P60 gearbox.
The motor shaft is 3.2mm according to banebots.com

I haven't been able to locate an appropriate encoder that would plug n' play on the back of this motor. Banebots do not seem to offer one.

Is there a US Digital E4 available for this application?
We're beyond crunch-time for ordering parts so I need the expertise of the FIRST community to get this order right the first time. I can't afford to order the wrong part and let the team down.

Any links, p/n's or information would be greatly greatly appreciated. Point me in the right direction and I can do the rest in terms of research, datasheets etc.

Thanks and regards,
Andrew Paul
