We have no way of knowing the quality of anything until tested.
Even then even it's maybe 3 encoders out of who knows how many lots.
Frankly there are way more ways I can think of ruining encoders in general in FIRST than there are ways I can imagine these are complete junk from my first examination.
There is literally a bag of ruined U.S. Digital encoder parts floating around our workshop.
Each has a story.
However one way or another we have limited our exposure to the U.S. Digital encoders.
Not saying it's U.S. Digital's fault.
Just saying we'll be using sealed encoders where possible in the future.
Though they may or may not be the encoders in this topic.
