oh wow, ha. thank you so much! yea that clears things up a lot now here's one more question... how would we get rotary encoders working? we bought ours from digikey m/n EM14 - 14 ; since we were missing a key component to the ones supplied to us in the KoP. we're not too sure on the coding for the encoders, everything we have tried has ended with Red Error Messages of Demise (REMoD) and any console outputs are 0. this is what we have for our code:

#include "Encoder.h"

class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot

{

		Encoder rotary;

public:

	RobotDemo(void):

		rotary(1, 2)

void Autonomous(void)

	{
		gyro.Reset();

		int display;
				
		
		while (IsAutonomous())

		{
		
			float anything;
			
			while(argument)

			{

				GetWatchdog().SetEnabled(false);	
			
				rotary = new Encoder(1,2);

				Wait(0.004);	
			
				display = rotary;

				printf (" %d \n ", display);

			}

           }

}

void OperatorControl(void)
{

}

};

any ideas?
