Re: Are Servos Considered Electric Motors?
To add to the consensus, servos are considered servos, and you may use them so long as they are identical to those in the kit and unmodified. They are however powered by the 7.2 volt back up battery, so if you do use them extensively make sure to keep that battery charged up.

The no modification part means no continuous rotation mod, unfortunately. If we could do that, I'm sure some team would have long since ganged a bunch together to squeeze just a little bit more wattage out of a drive system.
