Good idea.

If you're worried about a trim pot getting bumped and screwing you up, you can put a very simple text file on the cRIO to adjust your speed. You can change the text file and FTP it to the cRIO in about 10 seconds. We call it our "fudge file" (as in the fudge factor to adjust or speed/angle/etc.). If anyone wants an example of how to do this in LabVIEW, let me know and I'll either post it here or e-mail it to you.
