[Robotgroup] Can anyone spare a BOE-Bot servo?

[Paul Atkinson]

Scott,

I believe that the wheel servos on the BoeBot are modified for continuous
rotation. SO, if you are replacing one of those with a Hobby Store servo,
there will be a problem. A standard servo only swings ~180 degrees. Most,
not all, can be modified to do continuous rotation.

If the servo is used to pan a Ping sensor, then a standard servo is what you
need.
