Re: "mouse encoders"

Same thing for us.
We tried the optical mouse thing only to find out they are too slow. Instead we put encoders on omni wheels to accomplish the same task. One encoder for x axis and one for the y axis. It was accurate and accomplished our task. The only problem was by the end of everything the rollers in the omni wheels (ones for VEX) were not turning very well because of cuts and scrapes.
