Anyone wanna weigh in on servos?

we used them on our 2007 robot and they worked good(not as well as the pnuematic shifting though)enough to allow the robot to do wheelies,
using servos would be less complex,I've never had a servo break before,
and you could probobly replace that piston with a single, small, motor(like the fischer price maybe) and shift both(dont know if this would work any better but the idea is out there now)
