Couple questions about latest V1.3 Firmware for Eddie robot.

I have a couple questions for people running the latest V1.3 firmware on the Eddie robot platform using the new Quadrature encoders.
- From the code it looks like it is going to take three COGs to control the motors. One for the encoders, One for the motors, and one overall to control both the motor and encoder COGs. Can someone confirm how many COGs the motor portion is using?
- It looks like the firmware could be ported to other Propeller boards. With that in mind it shouldn't be hard to use it on the MADEUSA robot bases. Instead of the H-Bridge motor control object another one could use a modified servo object so a pair of HB-25's can be used instead. Has anyone already tried this?
