    Hank,

    ·· Our wheel encoder is designed to sit tightly behind the wheels on the BOE-Bot and detect the wheel/holes as the wheel turns.· For you to make use of it you would need to have surface that was similar or had alternating reflective/non-reflective surfaces (White/Black) alternating.

    Chris I am not worried about making any parts but remember I am controlling a gas engine I am after about 0 to 6 Mph the use of servos would not be a problem Hank
