Are 100k Ohm pots necessary?

I'm trying to find high quality single turn potentiometers and having a difficult time finding them at the 100K ohm requirement. I understand that the Robot Controller's manual indicates you should always use 100K potentiometers. But is it really necessary? What could be the disastrous result of using for instance a 5K potentiometer?
