Potentiometer Question, we need help!

[dez250]

The programming group of my team wanted me to post the following question to see if anyone might recognize the problem.

"My programmers and I have been having a bit of a time trying to get the potentiometers on our robot to work. the two joystick drives are working properly, but a third analog input on p3_y (using pins 1 and 6) and a pot on the robot itself (assigned using pot = Get_Analog_Value(rc_ana_in01); ) are both giving me values ranging from -3000 to 20000. Unless I'm horribly misinformed, this can't be right. I imagine there's a function or two I'm missing that would format the input properly, but I can't find what it is. Any ideas?"
