That's all I know. I don't know what to do for buying drive train components. Good luck!
Ahhhh.... you might want to be careful here. While I doubt anything like a rotary encoder would get you into trouble, that's considered an 'export' and can fall under certain ITAR regulations. You could get your friend in a lot of trouble.

And your mentors. Especially if they're in industry and are expected to know these sorts of things.
