  • pots should not be load bearing parts. use them in a place where they will not be damaged by the load applied to your robot.
  • remeber that if you need accuracy it is best to use a small gearing system that should make the pot turn more, that way you are minimizing the effect of the looseness in the pot itself.
I would have to agree! Get really good pots and be sure they are not bearing load!!!

Also a good pot mount with a protector always makes things nicer!
