6.1	16	illustrates a typical standard-size servo with its output horn (the round
	17	white part) at center position. You will always use the indicated holes
	18	for making mechanical connections. This is done with #2 self tapping
	19	screws. It's not necessary to drill the holes but if you want you can
	20	drill them with a 1/16" drill bit to make them easier to install.</font>
	21	<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Every servo we have ever tested has had
	22	the servo horn already positioned like this. However we instruct you to
	23	set the servo to mid position to verify the servo horn is in this position
	24	during the assembly process. This ensures each servo will have the same
	25	range and throw in the final assembled robot.</font></p>
	26	<p><font size="2" face="Verdana">The servo horn has 24 teeth on the spline.
	27	This means it can be removed and reinstalled in 15° increments. (360°
	28	divided by 24 equals 15°.)</font></p>
