Should I use a Pot or an encoder, and how?
I'm having a problem, I'm trying to figure how I would count the revolutions of the driveshaft in autonomous so I can create a simple distance = (2 * revolutions * 3.14159) equation. However, with the refresh rate I don't think I could correctly count revolutions without errors.
