Servos?

[Sunshine]

IFI is out of the servo's. I'm assuming that these are common items easy to get around the country. Does anyone have a better source to get a few?

Thanks Eric !

[PrincessJae]

thank you very much =]

so just for clarification, if we use a servo we need
1. HITEC HS-322HD servos, or
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) servos (Innovation First part number 276-2162),

and
2. The kit of parts did not come with this.

[DonRotolo]

1. Yes, either.
2. Check the list of what came in the KOP for that answer

I know they have some. They gave discounts for FIRST Teams last year. They basically have a lot of stuff IFI does, including CIM's and Victors. I dont know if they have the discount this year.


They didnt provide servos in the kit this year.

sorry I'm a bit confused, so if they did not provide servos, than we can't use it since it wasn't on the list? or can we buy the hitech s322hd thing? sorry its our rookie year

If you look through the manual, it states that you can use a Hitech HS-322 servo, Vex Servo, Vex Motor Servos. Though not in the kit, you may use them.

you have to purchase them

Something to keep in mind if you are going to use the servos. They are powered from the back up battery.

Hobby shops have servos, check to see if they have that specific one. Servos are used to actuate control surfaces on RC planes, boats, cars, etc.

Servos came with the 2005(?), 2006, and 2007 robots to aim the camera, maybe you can scrounge some.
