Re: Using the Magnetic Encoder

I'm not sure what other teams are doing (or even how we're supposed to be mounting the encoders), but we're using one motor per gearbox, so someone on our team is machining a mount for us to attach the encoder to where the other motor is supposed to go. We're also enlargening the hole in the magnet, so we can just stick the magnet right onto the shaft.
