Using a pot for a sensor is a very well documented practice in the FIRST manual and in the Innovation First documentation.

We have 100K pots at our disposal. Put 5V from the sensor port on one side of the 100K pot, ground the other side, send the wiper to the sensor pin of your hearts desire.

It is as simple as that.

As to pictures, ask around, you would have thought our swerve motors last year were related to Princess Di for all the pictures folks took of them ;-)
