I want to build the 50 dollar robot
Can I use DC motor instead of servo motor?
IF I can, did I need to change something in the electrical circuit robot ?
Which DC motor characteristics do you recommend ?
Also I search after printer that I can to update that the printer can print over a PCB and receive the electrical circuit

Well, you can use them but its a lot harder for a newbie...
The electrical circuit will change, you will need a motor driver for each motor, or a dual motor driver for both...
If your doing it because of cost, then don't, it will end up costing more for the motor driver circuits alone...
And then you have to modify the code to accept a motor driver... Much harder than the servo approach...
For the printer, it needs to be laser, not inkjet.
Just laser and print onto gloss paper and your good to go

What can happen if I buy a servo that have a little more power than the servo that in the list of the 50 dollar for this robot
-
I have 3 of this servo
But I think that this is not good for the 50 dollar robot
I search after the data sheet of this servo
what is the output RPM and torqe of the servo for the 50 dollar that write in the list of part

It wont make much of a difference. The robot will just have more power.

Does the servo have any writing on it? Do you know the name of the servo?

Hi,

It wont make much of a difference. The robot will just have more power.
And use more juice!
Besides... This is not like an R/C servo, so won't work directly.
