Detailed Description

The sensor reporting the actual velocity of the wheels of the MarXbot.

This sensor reads the actual velocity of the wheels of the MarXbot. It can work in two modalities: absolute (the default), meaning that the senors returns the current velocity of the wheels (scaled between -1 and 1) and delta, meaning that the sensor returns the absolute value of the difference between the desired velocity and the current velocity. This sensor provides two values, one for each wheel. This sensor applies noise if requested

In addition to all parameters defined by the parent class (MarXbotSensor), this class also defines the following parameters:

mode: one of "Absolute" or "Delta" (see the general description for more information). The default is "Absolute"

The resources required by this Sensor are the same as those of the parent class
