Is this with the voltage adjustment dial (the one all the way to the right) turned fully up?

You could use the smaller ones instead. However be careful that they are rated for the full amount of amps all your motors, servos, lights and other devices will be pulling. However DJ stated above that your servos in this application will run just fine on only 5 volts. You're only talking about 1/2 volt between the two anyway.

I'd just leave the big converter in place, turn up the dial all the way (as long as you don't get a higher voltage then the servos are rated for) and see how it powers your robot. You have built the chair support in such a brilliant way that it's so easy to access your power system. You can always go in there and make a change if needed.
