The encoder is a device used to encode data onto a Disk which is used to give an Armbot certain commands. These commands allow the armbot to preform all of its needed tasks to be used on the assembly line. A list of commands and what they do are listed here:

1. IDLE - Makes the armbot sit motionless for a moment before making it perform the next task.
   
2. ROTATE - Rotates the armbot 90 degrees.
   
3. GRAB - Causes the armbot to grab the item that it is hovering over. Will only continue one there is an item to grab.
   
4. DROP - Drops the item that the armbot is currently holding
   
5. RETURN - Returns the armbot back to its starting position
   
6. REPEAT - Will repeat the entire list of commands starting back at the first command.
   

To view/modify a disk, first you must put a disk in the empty disk slot. Once you do that, if it has an commands on it already, it will list them in order they are processed by the Armbot. To add a command to the list, simply type in the command you want (listed above), and then click the plus sign. To remove a command, click on the command in the list so that it is highlighted, and then click the minus button. An Armbot will process the commands in the same order that they are added so be sure to have commands in the right order.

Note: Armbots to not move in a complete 360 degrees. Instead once it gets to the forth side from its starting position, it will rotate back in the opposite direction back to the starting side.
