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


Exactly! This information is important to solving the problem that you have. Jumping headfirst into a problem like "How can I make the robot drive 5 feet with encoders" can be daunting, so you should break it down into simpler pieces first
