I was wondering if spikes are needed with servos? If so, I already need 2 spikes for the camera:ahh:

Thanks,

AnishI believe servos go straight to the RC. They're connected like PWMs, aren't they?

So does this mean I don't need spikes for my servos?

Thanks,

Servos go straight to the RC through PWM cables. You other motors should be on a spike or victor though.

For better referance you should go to the electrical part of the hand book in the robot section and look for the wiring diagram.
