Go to Post Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins.

With the servos, you plug them directly into a PWM output on the robot controller, and send a 0-254 value to the PWM in order to set the position...
