Matthew,
It sounds like you have an Edubot contoller but only one battery. If that is the case you do need to buy another 7.2 volt hobby battery for the second controller. The servos are only powered from the 7.2 volt backup battery on the Robot Controller.
As a side note to all, all Nicad batteries are shipped uncharged. Make sure to fully charge the battery before you use it.
