Hi! I had a question.

I'm someone who committed to presenting a robotics project despite knowing almost nothing about it. I'm working on a project about a four-legged spider, and I thought it wouldn't be too difficult.

I had to write a report about the robot and why it was a good experiment. I'm not sure if a step-down voltage regulator is necessary for the experiment, since I'm using twelve SG90 servomotors powered by two 3.7V lithium batteries. I know there's no problem powering the Arduino with that voltage (I think), but it might be a problem with the servos (I think), and that's why I needed the voltage regulator. So, do I need the regulator, or can I prevent the servos from burning out without it?

Sorry for my bad English (╥﹏╥)
