In all my years of coaching ftc, the tetrix encoders could give accurate readings in some matches and completely wring the next match.
"Completely wrong" as in no pattern at all or +/- a few inches up to a feet?

One suggestion is don't draw too much power from the motor controllers at once (like putting full throttle on a six motor drivetrain instantaneously) since that does in fact mess up the encoder count.
