Would you pop on a chain and use this as an idler, or perhaps just design to gear it in?

What 192 plans on doing is connecting the shaft of the encoder to one of the shafts in our gearbox using a flexible shaft coupling. The coupling doesn't have to be flexible but it'll just make our lives easier. I saw this set up on the gearboxes of a few teams this year, namely 1717 and 118. 118 had a very nice set up with a 3D printed mount for the encoder that spaced it making room for the coupler, we plan on doing something similar.
