Go to Post I don't know how you can blame a robot getting stuck in the goal on the GDC. The field drawings showed all of the dimensions of the goals. If a team doesn't want to risk getting stuck then they need to plan around it. - JamesBrown [more]

Averaging one side with Encoders or two wheeled drive?

So I was talking with the programmers, and being that we were doing six wheeled drive with 4 CIMS using 2 Victors, we figured we'd need 4 encoders. Now, my question is what would be the better approach?
1. One encoder on each shaft with only one channel wired. Then I'll direct the Encoder class towards the two Encoders on the same side and two for the other side.
2. Power only 2 motors for PID and have two fully wired Encoders on those shafts.

EDIT
This is for autonomous PID drive
