Re: [FTC]: Continous Servos
255 is full power in one direction, 0 is full power in the other direction. Somewhere around 127 is stopped. 127 is supposed to be stopped, but we recently found that some of our servos stopped with a setting around 133.

In other words:
servo[myContinuousServo]=255; // full power one way
servo[myContinuousServo]=0; // full power the other way
servo[myContinuousServo]=127; // stopped. might be a different # close to 127

Also make sure that you've configured the servos as Continuous Servos in the Motors and Sensors Setup.

BTW, a cheatsheet for RobotC teleop programming is available here.
