In the long run of this project the additional accuracy of a servo could benefit you. You might be able to get away with standard servos but I would want better like the high torque servos in the web store. Anyways thank you for showing the video. Its awesome! - Josh
Good idea...actually the best idea. But I'm taking the low road and punishing myself with DC motors. For some numskull reason I have a particular fondness for DC motors. Although I have been pondering slapping a trim-pot on top of the motor, which would make a frankenservo. Not sure yet, I may try and try some combination of scripting, timing and using a voltage monitor on the battery that powers the motors. It's the curse of to many ideas just not sure which one to go with... yet.
Ha ha ,I understand man , I always want to push the level of rediculous at times and going with the easy way sometimes doesn't do the trick
