I have now tested the darn thing and this is my conclusion: It works, but it wont reverse, becuase the potentialmeter can only be trimmed at one direction.

I'm 16 and started with ants at age 12. The first version of Flippt! (yes, I still use that name) had paper and duct tape amour, and used a 9V battery :)

PS. I still use the same servos I got four years from now :) DS.
