Wave rover 6x4 Motor Specification

Hello,

Could I please get some more information on the 4x motors? Does it come with encoders?

If not, what alternative motors might work with the mmis chassis?

If i have to layer a Jetson nano, Do I get a steady 5v 4A input for the battery ir from the slave board?

Regarding the battery:
It uses 3 x 18650 in series (not included) as the power for the robot, can output 5V and 3.3V for external devices.
Onboard INA219 chip for detecting voltage/current information and so on. Support charging and power output at the same time,
allowing uninterrupted development.
