Project – the continuous servo
Continuous servos are a little like a motor combined with a regular servo: you lose the ability to go to specific degrees like a regular servo, but you can stop instantly instead of coasting to a stop like many motors. You can tell a continuous servo to move clockwise or counterclockwise at different speeds, and you can tell it to stop.
Let's wire up a continuous servo and play with its abilities via the Johnny-Five REPL.

Wiring up the servo
The only difference in the wiring is continuous servos look different from regular servos in that nearly all have a disc instead of a horn. And most have red, white, and black power, signal, and ground wires, respectively.
(Fritzing didn't have a continuous servo object, so we'll have to make due.)

Continuous servo constructor and methods
The constructor for the continuous servo is reminiscent of the RGB LED constructor, in that it is a property of the Servo object. Otherwise, it looks very similar to the Servo constructor...
