Can you use a potentiometer to control motor position?

Sorry, during my fluid mechanics lectures on drag I must have been designing a gearbox in my mind. FRC season will do that. - sanddrag [more]

Can you use a potentiometer to control motor position?

We are driving a Banebot motor with a JAG to move an arm and coding in JAVA. Is it possible to command position of the motor using a potentiometer? We’ve connected the POT to an analog channel, but we’re not sure how to feedback that value to the JAG to control position.
