4W Maximum Power Servos? Huh?

Quick tip on your thread location: Try posting it in the Q&A instead of the general area. You'll need to have your team's main contact do it, though--they're the ones with the passwords to ask questions.

A servo and a motor are not the same thing. A servo goes to a position it's commanded to go to and stays there. A motor spins when powered. You can make a motor into a servo by adding sensory feedback onto whatever it's actuating. It's a whole lot harder to make a servo into just a motor. It's that commanded motion that makes a servo a servo.

Servo motors are a type of motor that can be directed to turn to face a specific direction, rather than just spin forward or backward.

(From the VEX servo page linked to earlier, emphasis mine.)

Servo != motor. Motor != servo.
