The servo power supply sounds neat if the game calls for servos this year (I would like to use the Smart servos, which we already have in our inventory).

Yes, absolutely. The Servo Power Module is designed to inject power to any servo and pass through the signal line. We do interface with the signal line to so you can read status of each channel via LED feedback, but if you are running a PWM signal this will just work.
It is designed to accept a voltage range from 9-20v. ( 7v is the brownout, but 9v is required to start) We just posted our quick start data sheet so people can dig a bit more into it.
