Your original velocity in the x and y come from your angle (theta)

Use trig... solve for relationship between these two and then you can get the angle you need.

I am a physics teacher... I am not giving you the final equations... use trig and algebra .... you can do this....
Ditto. velocity time graphs work really well, too.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
