Unit 10: Encoders & Precision
This unit teaches students how to use encoders as real feedback, turning motors from guesswork into measurable, repeatable motion. Read raw tick counts, convert ticks to distance, and use encoder run modes for reliable autonomous movement.

What This Unit Covers
Read encoder tick counts and understand how they relate to real motor rotation.
Convert ticks into meaningful distances using ticks-per-revolution data and wheel geometry.
Choose between RUN_TO_POSITION, RUN_USING_ENCODER, and encoder resets for more reliable autonomous control.
