Re: regulated power for potentiometer
That's a good question. I know our code last year used "getAverageValue()" and seemed to be very consistent - our arm (controlled with 3 pots - shoulder and elbow using 270 degree pots, and winch using a 10-turn pot) didn't seem to be affected by power, at least not until the power got so low the motor on the winch couldn't get the robot all the way up. In our build space testing, we saw no visible difference in how the arm operated when going from a dead battery like that to a fresh, fully charged one.
