Re: [oopic] Quadrature Encoder

That's a very good point. I was just thinking of attaching some magnets to
the front wheels and using a reed switch to count revolutions, but since
it's a tracked vehicle, that would show the same slippage as the other
wheels.

I'll have to think about how I could mount another wheel. It just might be
possible with the equipment on hand.
