If your are using them for what I am assuming (trying to calculate the robot's position on the field) then good luck. You will probably need it. Even with good encoders the error in measurements (of distance and rotation) will quickly build up and throw off your data. Plus everything is easy until you account for turning in a WCD, then there are about a billion other factors to account for. I will be very happily surprised if you get it working well and will most likely grovel at your feet.
