Thank you.
Currently, the only sensors are the potentiometers on the rear wheels which monitor angular position of the pods relative to the frame.
These units from Team 221 LLC do come with an easy way to mount an encoder on each wheel, should you choose to do that.
We are using a PS2-style game pad to drive with one "joystick" controlling the angular position of the wheels (powered by the globe motors) and the other controlling the speed of the wheels (powered by the CIMs)
Overall the design has worked very well for us, and we're thankful that Anthony and Team 221 LLC decided to partner with us for this project.
