Is There A Way To Have A Movement Panel With More Than 2 Continuous Servos?

I recently built a robot that has 4 wheels to it. I quickly realized that was a bad idea because from what I've seen, there is no way to control more than 2 wheels with a movement panel. If I am wrong, please tell me. If I am right, please notify me. Is there a way to control 4 servos through a single movement panel?

You didn't specify what kind of motors you're using. But no matter what you are using, connect the motors. Or, if you feel that you need to use I/O unnecessarily, you can use the custom movement panel. It makes sense to me to connect the hbridge or servos on the same i/o.

You say motors but also servos? If it is servos your talking about, I would think that a "Y" servo cable would work? Although I have never tried it.

you can AD multiple servo's and use one control . if you use the "Y" SPLITTER  they only turn in desame direction or you have to check , the box for invert . you can do very safe some testing with the controlls . see what it does .

Same with hbridge - you can connect multiple hbridge to the same i/o:)
