Creative uses for servos?

Winning the robot part of the competition is not about learning or doing unneccesary work. It works just like "winning" in industry. - Max Lobovsky [more]

Al Skierkiewicz has a reputation beyond repute

We have several...
Over the years we have used servos to activate a microswitch on the robot for a program branch jump, to drop an anchor to hold us on a ramp, release a magic tongue and this year we used servos to brake the drive mechanism for our wings (that is what holds them up at the end of the match!) Sometimes you don't need a lot of power, just the will to move.
