Re: The Best Encoders for Drivetrain

We had some issues with surgical tubing this year on our elevator, when doing quick direction changes, we had some issues with the surgical tubing twisting and this small error would give rise to a noticeable "bounce" in the elevator as the pid corrected it.

I picked up a foot of 3/16" id fuel line from local auto parts store for a $1.26 and all of the bounce went away.
