Hello!
In my email yestreday (English spelling) Adafruit sent me a new items there list, and it included two interesting items:
Vertical Micro Servo Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems and this one:
Horizontal Micro Servo Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems and the favorite was a CR style servo
Continuous Rotation Micro Servo - FS90R
I've never been able to fully realize how the BOE Bot design would look scurrying around on Lego branded wheels and a bot base constructed from that family of building materials. This is in the general discussion space because the servo selected would probably also work with the Prop 1 or Prop 2 designs, it's definitely for the other guy not being discussed here.
As usual this is being support by seven cats of which one is the reporting mascot.

Neat mounts. Wonder if they are moulded or 3D printed.
The servo looks just like the micro servo Parallax used to sell, so might be code examples at the webstore page, or around the hood!. (Should the protocol be any different to any other servo!)
Hello!
Excellent comment. Could be both. Now the obvious, why'd Parallax stop selling that variety?
See a way to attach legos to the horn?
Hello!
Close but no thing that blows evil smelling products. More like working out what style wheel would fit on the axle of the servo instead of the horn. The Brown Dog people did get back to me regarding theirs, and as it happens Lego is not being helpful on that style.
Only sleeping mascots here.
