Hitec Continuous Servo

When deciding how to move my rover i had to decide what with? Large PF motors or an alternative. I made the decision to go for a continuous servo because of several advantages over other types of motor:-

• NXT Servo supports 8 servos (6 x wheel, 2 x tbc)


• NXT Servo could be powered by a battery / solar charger


• Servos include rotation sensor for precision control

Mindsensors don't (as of yet) sell a continuous servo so I had to buy from Active Robots. They did however deliver a prototype mounting kit which fitted perfectly.

These will provide the movement and accuracy I need for my rover - Model purchased Hitec HSR-1422CR.
