Didn't have time to program it, and I doubt we could have since I believe the nxt 2.00 motors use tachometers instead of encoders.

Still fun to drive though, with one phone controlling steering and the other controlling speed it vaguely resembles swerve movement.
I'm pretty sure it is actually an optical encoder regardless of how it is marketed. They are relatively good at position control, not sure about speed control. I think the only thing that would get in the way would be the unpredictability of the passive casters.
