Re: Please Crique

I would suggest you think about it from another angle. Your sponsor likely doesn't care how well you robot performs, much less the technical details of encoders. I would suggest:

Our team is seeking to expand it's technical expertise to incorporate a CAN(Controller Area Network) system into our robot. CAN is commonly used in cars for many uses including: locking doors, transmissions, cruise control, and airbags. On our robot it would allow for two way communication between the C-RIO and its motor controllers, in place of the one way communication we have now. This will open up new possibilities of robot actions and give our students real world experience with a current practical embedded networking technology. However to do this we will need to invest in new equipment and tools. ... list things desired, prices and schedule to the detail warranted ... Also include how you would recognize the donor.


Most encoders do generate square waves.
