Re: Shaft Encoders
Our team used laser cut shaft encoders last year and they worked very well. We had rougly 200 slots cut in the entire 360 degree rotation - probably a little overkill but it did the job. And it kept our robot from drifting due to unmatched motors.

The #1 reason for having encoders - autonomous mode!

Good luck!

Sean
