Success with encoders

[smclean1969]

We have had some problems with getting an encoder working on our robots. Our team stood up in 2011 and it wasn't essential to have an encoder for Logomotion but it was a critical part of a successful shooter for Rebound Rumble.

The problem we had with the Kit of Parts encoder was the shooter RPMs being up in the 1000+ range, there were some vibrations that were causing the encoder to misread the encoder disk. I wanted to see if other teams had experience a similar problem.

Also, for the teams that don't use the KOP encoder, what type of encoder are they using?

thanks,
