Is the Parallax position controller (#27906) compatible with the Stingray?
How does it mount?
Anything in the OBEX making use of it?

    Hello Ray,

    I would say no. At least not the way the Stringray is setup. If you were running HB-25s as the motor drivers and wanted to try to attach the encoder to the wheel then I suppose you could.

    If you want to add encoder feedback to the Stingray (which I highly recommend) there have been some good suggestions for some US Digital encoders that work well with the Stingray motors:

    It would really be cool if Parallax carried these (or similar) encoders and offered them as an option for the Stingray or the Stingray motors.
