Actually IG they said they did not have the standard servo so I asked them whether they had anything similar to it. The showed the servo which I currently have, I never knew all servos are NOT the same so told them OKAY.

Hence I ended up with this :(.

How difficult …

would it be to add a pair of NO switches to a single pin w/ one tied high and the other tied low. Then react when that pin goes high or low? My suggestion is to use a pair of switches as limit switches to control how far the servo turns. Maybe look at what fritsl or TheCowGod did on their little drum machines as at least one, if not both, used motors instead of servoes to do all of the work.

Well hang on to it. You will

Well hang on to it. You will find a use for it.

If you get a matching servo you can try out locomotion with continuous rotation servos instead of regular DC motors. Have fun.

Sweet. A great idea would be

Sweet. A great next step would be making the robot draw things you depicted on your pc. I think it would be fairly possible with processing.

 Anyways, gratz on your first robot ^^
