UPGRADE AR3 TO USE AR4 SOFTWARE

I have added 2 files to the AR3 downloads section. There is an info sheet on what needs to happen and then there is a sketch file for you to use, this sketch is the same as the AR4 sketch with the exception that it has the encoder values for the CUI encoders used on the AR3. Let me know if anyone finds any issues with this hybrid file.

Is there any advantage to upgrading to the new motors/encoders?

The new motors with encoders makes the robot easier to build as you no longer have to source and install the encoder but if you already have the AR3 motors with the CUI encoders there is no advantage in updating to the AR4 motors.
