Re: pic: Off-Season Kicker Design
I would actually recommend a pot over an encoder because it's position is absolute instead of relative. Your programmers will thank you.
The key is to isolate the pot from the shaft. We did this with a short length of 25 chain and a plastic sprocket on the kicker shaft and pot.
