Does anyone one have a simple code that will measure the rotation of the potentiometer on the oi?

I want to see the picture of this turret with absolutely no space in its entire 360° for a ¼" by ¼" potentiometer. (You couldn't point it the other way and have it over the drivetrain?)
Bottom line: You
MUST put in a pot if you expect any decent control. (How can I emphasize it further?)
Give me sensors or give me death!
A sensor is worth a thousand words.
A sensor in hand is worth two in the bush.
Early to wire and early to read makes a robot healthy, wealthy, and wise.
When the pot's away, the arms will play.
A sensor a day keeps the mentor away.
A pot is a bot’s best friend.
The sensor is always nicer on the other side.
Hell hath no fury like a sensor ignored.
Knowledge is power.
Sensors are made, not born.
It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you read your pots.
A bot is known by the sensors it keeps.
