What do you mean by more impressive looking? You could make it out of chuck norris...

Understanding that servos work by pulse width modulation - and the 2 555's adjust speed and duty cycle on that circuit. The inputs would be potentiometers, which would relate to how far the servo moves. The output...you could put a picture of chuck norris's arm, so you have a servo karate chop. I still dont know what you mean by 'more impressive' :D

I can't think how to modify this one to do anything 'cooler' than what it already does:

I particularly like Bowden's Hobby circuits. He has some cool free ideas
