Answer these questions and you may get more detailed help:


what is the part number of the encoders

how are the encoders wired [roboRio or SRX]

where are the encoders mounted

what is the gear ratio between encoder and wheel

what kind of drivetrain are you using

what is wheel diameter

what model motor controllers are you using

are you using PWM or CAN bus
