We can have it working with and without an encoder


That's exactly what we were thinking of doing! But we never got around to actually putting the code in.

Pretty much the only "trick" we put in there was an acceleration code, which would only let the motor value go up by 5 every loop. I believe there was a thread about that sorta thing... (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...520#post572520)
