Unit 9: Servo Control
This unit extends mechanism control beyond DC motors by teaching students how to command standard and continuous rotation servos safely and predictably. Command positional servos with setPosition(), scaleRange(), and setDirection(), and control continuous rotation servos for intake mechanisms.

What This Unit Covers
Use setPosition() and scaleRange() to command positional servos without overdriving physical linkages.
Configure mirrored mechanisms cleanly with servo direction settings instead of duplicating inversion math across OpModes.
Choose correctly between Servo and CRServo so intake and gripper mechanisms use the right control model.
