Re: Absoloute Potentiometer for swerve drive

Team 20 considered normal encoders, absolute encoders, and ten turn potentiometers. We decided the zeroing made the normal encoders not worth using. We wanted to get be able to make more than one full twist of the modules, which the magnetic encoders are able to do, but the zeroing once again becomes an issue. So, we went with the ten turn potentiometer, and it worked well.
