I had a feeling that this was an issue. I just don't see how you can avoid slip if you are securing an encoder with its wires.

We used magnetic encoders from CTRE this year and have fallen madly in love with them. I suspect we'll continue to use them where they make sense. We liked that they are contactless. I'm hoping to create some more 3d printable housings for them though.
