360 Servo Modification?

[Mk.32]

Hello all,
we have some servos from the KOP:

According to that they are 360 Modifiable".
How does one go around to doing this?
Thanks.

Mark,
There are likely several methods available for a search. However, it is possible (read likely) that 2012 FRC rules may not allow you to modify a servo. Before planning be sure to read the robot rules after kickoff. If they are not answered within that document, you may have to ask the question on the FIRST Q&A Forums after kickoff.

After reading and understanding what Al has said.... here is a bit of info to help you achieve your goal.

In a nut shell, you need to remove the position feedback internal to the servo and remove the mechanical limit.

Here is just one instruction option to do so, (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-modify-a-servo-motor-for-continuous-rotatio/) there are several other possibilities available.

This (http://www.societyofrobots.com/actuators_modifyservo.shtml) is a pretty good general tutorial on how to modify a servo for 360 rotation
