No - regrettably.

or if there are same kind of
servos compatible with LEGO bricks?

Not directly - some people have kludged together interfaces to radio
control aircraft type servo's - but there is no immediate compatibility.

Are there any other option?

There is a Lego rotation sensor - it tends to lose counts at very low
rotation speeds though - so it's not very well suited to absolute
positioning tasks.

Some people have sucessfully built mechanisms using light sensors to
sense rotation angle from a black/white/grey encoder wheel.

Hi all, Does anyone knows if LEGO have servo motors?, or if there are same kind of servos compatible with LEGO bricks? I've read about S200 form FMA Direct. Are there any other option? (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics)
