I am not sure if you mean on the robot or driver station. If you meant the driver station, this wouldn't be very easy, and a joystick would make much more sense.
If on the robot, then it is a bit easier, but I still don't recommend it. It would add complexity to the robot wiring/programming, (depending upon how it would be used) weight, and not be adjustable during a match. Again, I suggest sticking to your original idea of a joystick axis. If you want something more difficult to modify while in use, you could always use a custom dashboard with a throttle slider on it.
