63R, 300 Million cycle lifetime, 5000 RPM

Checked last night, turns out we are using Series 63 Grayhill encoders after all. We have two sets; one pair of 63R256 and one pair of 63R128. The programmers need to decide which set will go on this year's drivetrain.
We switched to Grayhills because they are more rugged than the EP4. It is nice to be able to drive aggressively and not worry about whether your auto mode will be working for the next match.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
