So try it first with one servo before moving your system over to a switch

cheers again
You can contact EZ-Robot for more information about their product if there's product specific questions. Here's details and instructions for the EZ-B v4 controller from ez-robot website: https://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Lesson/72?courseId=4
Because when the power is applied to the analog servos AND ezb - there's a sudden rush of voltage across everything. Which is being interpreted as a pwm by the analog servos.
One of the things you can do is have the servos only engage when there is a connected client. There's a feature in the latest ezb's for that. Here's a previous question I found for you using the search feature on this website: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/How-do-I-set-an-output-to-reflect-the-status-led-of-IoTiny-or-19491
Looks like you can use that to turn on a relay which powers the servos only when there's an active connection. Good news about that setup, is if there's ever a disconnect, the robot would shut down.
