As I'm still looking at this, does anyone know the max encoder rate for the roboRIO and Talon SRX? With 21 or 30 counts/rev at 20000+ RPM we may be coming pretty close to or surpassing that spec. For the cRIO I think we are over the spec. For lower speeds it would be fine and we could also possibly remove some teeth, but I'm not sure how easy that would be.
