    If we're talking about TorqueX/C# you could increase "speed" using += in your process tick

    Here's an example from one of my projects
    // Velocity increases while right trigger is pressed
Velocity += move.Triggers[1].Value * 0.5f;

    there's an exponant function I've used. I think its:
    mPow( val , power )

    so If I remember you can do 2^7 by

    $powerVar =mPow(2,7)

    there's more info in the documentation here:
