Hello,
New mindstorm user...been lurking for a while. WRT to servo motion -- it is
fairly easy to modify standard servos for continuous motion. $ would put this
motor about the same cost as lego so not sure of value added. If there is any
interest I can dig up instructions (it's been a while since I modified one).
