Re: "mouse encoders"

I need to warn anyone thinking of using a "telephoto mouse" or camera system of a real problem. The field of view, and thus the relationship between image motion and actual velocity, changes with height from the floor. Any bouncing of the system, or even significant vibration, will throw off the results.
