Neil and Anthony’s project uses junk mobile phones, adruino and servo motors for the moving parts.
Servo Motors are usually electronic devices that form part of a servomechanism. A servomechanism, sometimes shortened to servo, is an automatic device that uses error-sensing negative feedback to correct the performance of a mechanism.
