The original supplicant wanted to use rotation sensors - so I guess direct
drive is out. I guess you can use an axle extender and use the sensor as
a bearing - but you won't get a very precise position reading if you can
only sense position accurate to 1/16th of a wheel rotation. I generally
want to gear up the rotation sensor so it rotates faster than the wheels.
