Well, I do sometimes.... We're trying a few drive combinations and only have the encoders on one set of motors.

I looked at the code and although there does seem to be a call to "GetEncoders" the call just seems to be setting some flags. No sure why it's there. The Move command is just a fixed power command as far as I can tell... not sure why there should be any extra delays... but I'll take your word for it... I gues I better test it both ways to see if I get simmilar results.

Too bad if I want to drive the motors without encoders....

Phil.
