Servos most definitely are motors. The fact that the angular rotation of the output shaft can be precisely controlled does nothing to change its status as a motor.

That aside, I look at the use of the servos as documented in the IFI documentation as components within a single assembly of kit components that FIRST has told us to build. I think that thier use in this context would be OK. Let's see what FIRST says.
