Re: VEXpro 2016
On the subject of the encoder - it looks like it needs a "diametrically polarized" magnet to spin in front of it to work. The user guide I linked has lots of tips for embedding the magnet in existing gearboxes, with the glaring exception of VEX ballshifters (which currently need encoders to have a 1/4" bushing-supported shaft).
I wonder if VEX has a solution already cooked up for ballshifters and these new encoders. If not, I wonder if it would be possible to make a replacement for the plastic encoder gear that has pockets for multiple magnets around the perimeter (or something).
