That's what we're planning to use but I notice that it is a *very* tight fit with the body of the encoder right smack against the motor sides. We're using a 1/4" to 1/4" shaft coupling to connect the encoder to the output shaft. I'm tempted to take a file to the sides of the encoder body to see if we can open things up a bit. I'm worried about side-loading the encoder shaft.

To avoid loading the encoder shaft, couple the two shafts with a piece of surgical tubing with the ends of the shafts inserted into the holes in the tubing and clamp it down with zipties. It works very nicely for misaligned encoders.
If we can transform our culture to the point where girls swoon over guys as they pull their dremel off their belt and carve some speed holes in a smooth fluid motion, I think FIRST is half way to its goal. When we get the guys to swoon over the girls for their hot moves on the 5-axis, we have won. - EricVanWyk [more]
