Re: Kit item request for 2006

I would love to see out of the kit support for drive motor feedback. This be can be in the form of encoders, hall effect sensors, or some other form of technology (Back EMF ). I would love to see 2 encoders in every kit with premade mounting equipment to the output shafts on the transmissions.

While this modification isn't extremely hard to handle on your own, out the the box support for motor feedback might make autonomous mode alot easier and more reliable for lots of teams.
