Oh, one more use I forgot about! Some of you may remember Gila III from 2000 (Team 64). We used a servo to release the gate that let out all of the balls in our basket into the trough.
The RED arrow is where the servo is mounted (I know its not very visible) and the BLUE arrow is what it was actually moving. There is another BLUE arrow thing on the opposite side, and it works almost exactly as the gear shifting mechanism in my post above. BTW, that is Mike Rush in the picture... my personal hero, and the man responsible for me being so involved with FIRST
