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

[LHudson]

I figured that out today as I was programming one CR servo and one standard.  Actually the standard is really what I needed; the CR has no idea where the "Center" is.  It was dumb luck that I happened to missplace one of the BOE-Bot servos, so I'll be stopping by Hobby Town again tomorrow.

  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.
