This isn't a great solution, but one way to read the encoder position is to repeatedly call ConstantSpeed with power set to "0". This keeps the encoder logic running.

So, in a pinch you can have a loop that contains "Constant Speed, followed by Read Encoder and a short time delay... maybe 20ms"

I've still had problems with this approach, but it's better than nothing.

I was going to post a snyde remark to "Sean" indicating that while Pots are a good solution, they are not available to us in FTC..... but then I thought..... Wait, If I use a NXT prototyping board, and the POT is attached to that board, it IS legal..... Hmmm.... potential....

So, Thanks Sean.
