Re: [FTC]: Motor encoders Love'em? or leave'em?

We do use encoders for autonomous. They work fine for straight motion (of course, not to 0.01 inch - but it is not necessary). However, we found them rather unreliable for measuring turns (when turning, both wheels slip), so we use gyro sensor for this. Works much better for us. Your mileage may vary.
