You're in luck, you can use just about any kind of servo!

Note that many of the photos below don't show the additional motor horns, but every servo comes with plastic clip-on parts!

Continuous Rotation Servos

These servos look a lot like the above but they rotate all the way around. Unlike standard servos you can't control the location of the horn, just the speed and direction it which it turns.
