With programming. If you work in C (for the Microchip C18 compiler), check out Kevin Watson's site, and download the FRC encoder module.

Really, this is a job that is better suited for a stepper motor (which are currently illegal in FIRST). The Grayhills and Kevin's code can be made to simulate this sort of behaviour quite effectively, though.
