+# Measuring Wheel Speed
+
+Position counts become useful control signals once you add time.
+
+To estimate wheel speed:
+
+1. sample the encoder count at a fixed interval
+2. subtract the previous count from the current count
+3. divide by the sample period
+4. convert counts per second into revolutions per second or wheel surface speed
+
+## Why this matters
+
+Speed feedback is the bridge between open-loop motor commands and predictable robot motion.
+
+If two drive motors get the same PWM value but spin at different speeds, your robot will drift. Encoder-based speed estimation lets you detect and correct that mismatch.
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+Plot wheel speed over time while ramping the motor command up and down.
