Most definitely decent quality, by that I mean not garbage, but not the type I would used for a drive train either. I plan to connect a pair to a couple globe motors we have attached to our '09 control system tomorrow. This will allow our programmers to figure out exactly how to code for them. It will also allow them to see if they can come up with an autonomous routine mock up. Heck, at $4/ea., I could care less if they fail in just a few days use, as long as the students learn how to use encoders for various applications.
