Rover 5 Chassis Question

I am thinking that the Rover 5 chassis in the store does not come with encoders due to the price.

Is that correct?

That's correct, there are no encoders.

#2  

@Darathianb, they are sold separately by dagu if that's something you reeeeeally want.

#3  

Speaking of encoders, is there options for using them (like part of the motor control panel) in ARC? Or would one have to whip up a script of some sort? I have casually been going through the workings of ARC but haven't seen anything for use with encoders... Again, sorry for the possible daft question as I still have yet to physically use the EZB controller itself... And sorry to the OP a possible thread jack as well...

Encoders are not natively supported by ARC.

Encoders aren't great ... You'll most likely never see encoders supported by us. We have a localized positioning system with a camera coming out pretty soon as an EZ-Bit.:D You'll like that much better
