Distance to RPMs
 

currently we are using the camera to find the distance to the back boards and have been using encoders to find the RPMs needed at certain distances away.
Is there a way to mathematically and/or programmatically take a table with distances and RPMs to make the robot take any distance to the backboard and automatically give it that set RPM?

I would try just manual data logging (good ol pencil and paper) comparing distance value to RPM. Then put that into a spreadsheet or a math site like Geogebra and fit an equation. Then implement that equation into your program!

how would I go about doing that if I have a gap in the 2 RPMs
I have a top shooter wheel and a bottom
the top goes at 300 RPMs slower than the bottom
maybe 2 equations?

It sounds like you're looking for the Interpolate 1D function. It's in the Mathematics > Interpolation & Extrapolation palette. Give it a pair of arrays for the independent and dependent values, and it will find the appropriate output for a given input.
