Re: Using Encoder to Drive a Certain Distance

Remember to use the encoder reset, and start function when initializing (This was a mistake my team made when first getting into them). It looks as though you have all you need other than that though. Just use if statements to progress through your autonomous when target distances are met. best of luck

Also, be careful about what encoders you use. The standard andymark encoders are very... finicky. Make sure if you use them, you don't EVER have to disassemble the drive system. (don't take them off)
