Smile Re: Are Servos considered to be motors?
Remember that there are only so many PWM outputs to signal spikes, jaguars, victors and servos. The cRio PWM outputs are a maximum of 750 mA, so you can only "Y" a limited number of servos to one PWM output. Research the cRio for this year, as well as the current draw of the servos you are using. This cocept would also apply to the Tetrix control system I would guess, but I have no definitive info on that system. Maybe someone else can help with the Tetrix control system.
