Servo Motors Disengaged

@DJ

Just a heads up. I just went through the servos in my kit and found three of the 4 standard servos did not function correctly. They whined when plugged in. After closer examination, I found that the servo motors had shifted down in the casing during shipping causing the motor gear to disengage from the gear stack. I pushed them back into place and stuck a small wad of tape over the motors to keep them in place in case of further jarring during development.
