Depends on the application. If I have a 2 position arm or mechanism that doesn't need precise operation, I can get away with just using a limit switch. And I'm sure that you don't really need encoders for intake rollers, either; but teams should definitely be using them for their drivetrain and shooter wheels. (Hell, 1648 used a banner sensor and a piece of retro-reflective tape on a belt for our shooter's feedback)
