Dagu Rover 5 chassis robot demo

Greetings.
I've been working on modelling and control of this platform for a while now and I have a question to ask if it is possible. The encder pulses seem to be quite long or slow to be able to get a good PID control from them. Has anyone tride this? have you been successful? can you share with me the method you used for speed measurment? I'll be more than thankful for any answer.
Cheers.

I've finally hooked up the encoders on my Rover 5 and wrote some code for them: Rover 5: encoder speed control - Bajdi electronics Just trying to make all 4 motors rotate at the same speed. It works but maybe a PID control would be better?
