It's better to use encoders to measure the speed of the wheels in a PID loop to control them properly. With that, the PID loop will ensure the sides of the drive train are going at the correct speed.
I would only use distance from an encoder in autonomous, when you need to travel to a specific point as part of your routine.
Quality has nothing to do with desire – you can’t wish quality. Quality has nothing to do with time, or money, or the other guy’s attitude. Quality has everything to do with craftsmanship. - Jack Jones [more]
