Sorry for resurrecting such an old post, but I just wanted to say that I've been working with the OpenServo for almost 3 years. The Open Servo basically allows you to modify any motor/gearhead combo to be a highly functioning digital servo. You can easily make an Open-Servo for about $35 in your garage, whereas a similar digital servo can't be purchased for less than $120. I've assembled some by hand, and I willing to sell you a few if you need them. Go to my website at www{dot}pendragonrobotics{dot}com if you're interested. If you'd like to build your own, check out their forums and wiki pages for more info. Talk to you soon.
