Re: Different Swerve Drives
The main reason the programming team came back with is that it is simpler to do one analog in from the potentiometer than multiple digital or a serial input(s) from an encoder. Also, from the preliminary research they did, pricing was a little higher than we'd like to do for an encoder. Both will work for our needs, but in terms of complexity we'd like to keep it simple, and the programmers said a pot would be the better of the two in that aspect.
