Re: Gyro to readjust shooter?

I don't think an encoder could give you useful information on how misaligned your shooter has gotten. You might perhaps be able to use two encoders, one on each threaded rod, and move the motors to keep them synchronized.

Is there a good reason you can't use a mechanical solution to ensure that the rods are always moving together?
