Servo Calibration

Hi Folks,
I am studying "Robotics with the Boe-Bot" using a new purchased-from-Parallax Boe-Bot kit and in Chapter 4, Activity 2, the BoeBot servos are adjusted so the bot runs in a straight line going forward.· My adjustments are:
· PULSOUT 13, 820 ' Left servo full speed ccw.
· PULSOUT 12, 650 ' Right servo full speed cw.
Is it·normal to have to back off the pulsout 60 microseconds (820 instead of 850) on one servo to get them turning the same speed?
Thanks,
Doug

·· Yes, this is normal.· Most servos are different from one another in some way.· Some more than others.· Take care.
