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.
