On our robot this year we are using a door to control feeding to our shooter/elevator. Currently we are using a motor (don't ask me the type I'm just a programmer) with a wheel to control this and it works fine. This is just for my personal knowledge. Does anyone know if a servo would work for this function. It is just to stop the balls from moving through an opening and i know that servos can actually be decently powerful (we use them for shifting on our dewalt transmissions which i sometimes cant move by hand). Now take into account that I am not all that mechanically minded i just know that a servo is lighter than the motor and wheel assembly + relay. One of our mentors suggested it but i don't think the idea got any testing. Is anyone using an approach like this?
