Oh, certainly, I've worked with some beefy servos in other applications. I was only talking about FRC-legal hardware.
Unfortunately, FRC-legal servos are so weak that I've yet to actually find an application for them. I'm sure someone, somewhere has used them effectively on their robot, but I haven't.
