is there any way to programmed DC motor to certain degree???

You need a feedback sensor to do that.
Usually a potentiometer or an encoder depending on what rotations you want to allow the motor to have.

do they provide encoder sensor in kitof parts

Not inside the Kit totes.

You can get potentiometers at electrical supply places like Radio Shack.

A servo needs a special jumper on the pair of pins right beside the PWM output the servo is connected to.
This picture (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9743&d=1295532854) shows two white jumpers on PWMS 1 and 2.

The code looks like this:

You can check your servo using Test mode on the Driver Station and the Test tab on the default Dashboard.

Check to make sure everything is plugged in and that the in the drivers station the joystick you are using is set as the first one in the list. Also make sure you're referencing of the name is consistent throughout.
