Ganging servos... I'll go with gorilla. Either that or it's an aiming device power source.

I agree Eric. It looks like all 3 servos will be put to use for 1 thing that turns. That 1 thing will go in the middle of all the servos.

Re: pic: Team 548 Teaser (What could this be?)

i agree that it is a gate for a shooter. however if you have any pneumatics whatsoever on your robot, that thing is completely over kill because you could use one of the rotary actuators(what were using)

Perhaps that's what he meant by saving weight, as pneumatics adds a lot of unnecessary weight to the robot. (Tanks, Solenoids, Spikes, Heavy Actuators, Compressor if you use it)

Re: pic: Team 548 Teaser (What could this be?)

Two answers:

1. Doesn't matter. They'll never get all those servos synchronized anyway!

2. It's rotating something heavy. How about a rotating shooter?

I'll go out on a limb and say it's for rotating one (or maybe all three?) swerve modules. But that doesn't make sense, so i agree that it rotates a shooter.
