Re: VEXpro ball shifter encoder issue

Our team discovered this same problem with one of our two vex gearboxes on our drive train. After assembling our extra gearbox to test out our theory we could not find any other reason it would not spin corrector other then incorrect assembly. However, at this point almost all of our robot was assembled so we did not get a chance to look at the faulty gearbox on the bot so we are now only running one encoder. If you are in a situation where you can disassemble and try to identify any other problems I would love to hear if there are any other reasons this could be occurring.
