Re: Autonomous Planning

How would an encoder fail?
I can see it getting wired backwards, but that wouldn't be a spontanious thing.
I could see it getting hit, expect that it's protected by the toughbox. Because of how quadrature encoding works, if an encoder is hit, the most that it can happen is it stops telling you it's moving.
