 Maximum number of servos
Stumbled upon this: (Line 1416, RobotCIntrinsics.c)Just out of curiosity, what does that mean? 4 sensor ports * 6 servos per controller * ?

 Re: Maximum number of servos
6 channels per controller * 4 controllers per port * 4 ports is the way I see it.

 Re: Maximum number of servos
You can daisy-chain up to four Hi-Technic servo/DC motor controllers on one port.
