EEPROM and Encoders

In the past, I have seen teams use EEPROM to record an autonomous mode at the click of a joystick. Of course this makes life SO MUCH SIMPLER except it has some major flaws. The results will vary every time you run it because of battery power(big one), wear and tear on wheels, motor damage, slight modifications etc. So I thought of a neat idea although I haven't yet figured out how this is feasible - record encoder counts into the EEPROM. We would have to avoid time as a variable(unless someone thinks up of a clever scheme). Any ideas?
