If you wanted to have the CMUcam drive it's own servos, how would you do that to begin with... what would you define PAN_SERVO and TILT_SERVO as, if they are connected to the CMUcam instead of the RC

#define PAN_SERVO pwm01

If we do run them from the RC, I'm guessing that we are supposed to extend the servo pwm's down to our robot controller also?

Thanks
