the servos you have would not be a good application for this project. But if you could get some stepper motors from some old printer you could use them. There are a lot of examples out there that show you how to use a stamp to control a stepper motor and the servos. Google it.

Try the parallax home page I know that they have stepper motor examples, then you take it from there, you will need to modify the code, also there are plenty of examples on the web, I would recommend 16f877, with pic, do some research and you will find you are already there.

The 16f877 is a pic microcontroller, an amazing little chip there is already code out that can contoll this chip for x,y,z. google pic 16f877 pic processor it is made by microchip.
