You can also use:
- Legaacy Tetrix Controller
- Legaacy Matrix Controller
- MRI Core Device Interface Module
RE04: "Any compatible servo may be used"
MRI Servo Controller info: "Total servo power limit 6 volts DC. 5A max"
Using the MRI controller, it looks like you can use any servo that has <= 5 Amp power draw @ 6 VDC
I'd ID the servo you'd like to use and then post a question at the FTC rules forum about its legality as the game manual isn't very explicit about the limits.
