We should have added encoders a while ago before bag & tag, but since we didn't we will be adding them during the 6-hour robot access period the week of our first district event. Currently our autonomous modes are based on a timer which isn't very accurate or predictable.
Our team didn't get the KOP drive train but on andymarks website they say that the KOP gearbox is compatible with the type of encoders I linked.

Here is the information about the gear box if you want to look at its specification for the encoders http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2598.htm
