But most teams have all wheels on a side driven by the same axle either via chains or belts, right? So unless you have independently-driven wheels (with an encoder on only one of them) or unless you catch a lot of air during your crossing, chances are that the encoder readings will be reasonably accurate. Not perfect, but good enough.
