I don't know that we are.
Like you, we have been using the same encoders for a few seasons now. All I know for sure right this minute (Sunday evening, no access to team build space at the high school) is what you can see in the picture -- i.e., five pins.
I agree the 63 series specs are better for this application, so IF we were able to get those encoders at the time, then we would have selected them. Sometimes FRC teams have to use what is in stock during build season.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
