I am really busy experimenting with my newly assembled RN and I was wondering what type of servo would be suitble to make the robot's head turn to the left and to the right. I intend changing the robot's head and put a wireless camera instead since I will be using the robot mainly for path finding and other similar experiments. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks

I used an HSR-8498HB in the chest on my RN-1 to rotate its head. In hind site I think I would put in a smaller lighter weight, lower power digital servo. You don't need catch and play with the head servo so any digital servo should do. That way I could add another servo for tilt.

Maybe something like this servo
