I assume since he was talking outside of FRC restrictions, he was not talking about "hobby" servos such as those allowed in FIRST, or those with less than a 360 range. A genuine industrial servomotor can have unlimited range and ample torque for this job, and would easily outperfom a gearmotor on pot feedback with homemade software. There is a reason they are almost always used for robotic and positioning jobs. I guess it depends on what caliber of servomotor he has access to and could consider for his project.
