Re: How are teams mounting drivetrain encoders on WCD?
2014 we used Ball shifters and used the encoder setup that comes with it.
2015 we used the AM CIMple Box and 3D printed an encoder gearbox that mounted to the 1x2 frame. It had a 3D printed gear on the hex drive axle and we pressed a 3D printed gear onto the Greyhill encoder. Worked well.
2016 we used the WCP SS gearbox (single speed with 3 motor mounts). We only used 2 CIMs so we 3D printed a mounting plate and gear so that the encoder could mount using the CIM bolt holes. Worked great. Much easier to get to and work on if needed compared to 2015.
