You can open the solution suggestions as usual by clicking on the 
icons on the right.

An additional program element is not required in ROBO Pro to count the 
pulses at the high speed 

counter inputs C1-C4

. The counter input C1 is 

automatically assigned internally to motor M1; M2 is connected to C2 
and so forth.
Note: If the model does not move straight ahead in spite of using the 

encoder motor elements

 the cause can be the model itself. For example, 

if a hub nut, which transfers the force from the axle to the wheels, is not 
tight enough the axle slips and the model moves in a curve even though 
the motors are rotating at the same speed. Therefore be sure the hub 
nuts are tightened well.
