Does a no-blind-spot limitless pot exist? We sure couldn't find one. Our first attempt at solution was to gang together two pots so that their deadspots didn't overlap, but they weren't linear enough for that to work perfectly. We ended up using the absolute encoders that came in the kit, and that worked really well.
