Servo Selection

Servos generally fall into two categories: torque-focused or speed-focused. Torque servos prioritize force, allowing robots to handle heavier loads and maintain strong positioning, while speed servos focus on quick, responsive movement, ideal for applications requiring fast adjustments.

In FIRST Tech Challenge, the three commonly used servo brands are REV, GoBILDA, and Axon.

REV Servo (Cose-effective Option)

REV offers one servo, the Smart robot servo, a good price-to-performance servo. It features a dual mode, offers average output torque and speed, and has a brass gearbox.
