Even if you do not decide to use this method in competition, it might be a good way to figure out what speed you want in the first place and then use a Bang-Bang controller or PID loop to control on-field.
You still need a way to control and verify that what your dial is setting, is actually being run on the robot.

We did do something similar in 2012 though. After our camera tracked the target, and fed the shooter a setpoint value, we had 2 buttons on our joystick that would increase the RPM setpoint by 50, or decrease it by 50.
