Re: [FTC]: [FTC]: Can any one explain to me just how powerful the servos are?

ok Servo vs NXT motors...

Power wise? the NXT motors hands down.

Pros and cons:
Supposedly, the NXT motors have an encoder in them that can determine 1 degree of rotation. If that's true, and you can get it to work, that could be a VERY power motor to use. The HUGE negative to the NXT motor is the shape and the difficulty of matching it with the Tetrix metal.

The servos have hard stops which can make programing easy. The biggest problem with the servos are the relative lack of power and the fact they only have 180 degree rotation.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
