However, I suspect that is not what you're asking. If you want to control the motor using some external input, then the easiest thing is just pass the value retrieved from a joystick.

// some global somewhere
Joystick stick;

... 

// in your main loop
my_motor.Set( stick.GetY() );

Thank you so much! I actually needed the first one. Our robot has a slight curve so I wanted to make one robot have a little more power than the other (Not joystick based).

I'll go test out a few different values and tell you if it works out!

EDIT: The first method you gave us would move the robot, the second would just control it. Could I maybe make a function that would automatically (Time based) use the .Set method? It would only turn on if your driving with that stick.

public void fixCurve(bool x){
while(x == true){
wait(2.0);
rightmotor.Set(whateverTheNumberWouldBe);
}

(X is made true when the robot drives and false when they stop)

EDIT: My function would work but we need a formula to determine the speed so this itself doesn't cause a curve..... FUN!
