Severe Issues with Andymark Swerve and Steer Module

I find it necessary to alert all teams who have already purchased the Andymark Swerve and Steer Module of issues in its performance. Andymark is offering a better, "absolute zero," (as we like to call them,) sensor. This "better" sensor always has a point it can refer to as zero, eliminating the need for pre match centering/zeroing. However, because the gear that the sensor is attached to and reading from is 12 tooth, and the gear used for turning the assembly is 40 tooth, the sensor has effectively 3&1/3 "zero's" This causes HUGE problems when trying to read the position. If you have not completed your electronics board and given the programmer(s) a chance to test it, be prepared to come up with major issues.
