A potentiometer (or pot) is an electrical device used to measure angular position. The user can therefore adjust the degree to which the potentiometer opposes electric current through it, simply by turning a shaft that is attached to the center of the potentiometer. As the resistance of the potentiometer changes, so does the voltage, which thus causes the potentiometer to act as a variable voltage divider. This varying voltage can be measured by the VEX microcontroller and is directly proportional to the angular position of the shaft connected to the center of the potentiometer.
