I was wondering if it is possible to use the two servo's from my scribbler in my BOE-BOT, I took the scribbler apart and only seen two wires coming from each motor.

thanks for taking the time to look at this, I am kind of new to robotics and electronics!

    Those are not servos, they're DC gearmotors.

    Is there any way to use them on the boe-bot?

    Not without a motor controller, (e.g., Pololu). You'd also have to deal with mounting -- I think it would be much cheaper/easier to buy a couple C/R servos from us; we sell them very inexpensively.

    Yeah that is what I kind of thought, thanks for all of your patience with me smile.gif

    Guess I will be ordering more servos, and other parts very soon!
