If you are driving analog hobby servos, like for model aircraft, you can drive many of them from a single 40pin AVR. I've driven as many as 16 at once but it's possible to do even more. You just have to send a pulse to each servo that is between 1ms and 2ms long.
Even if you only send the pulse to each servo once every 10th of a second the servo will still move to the desired position. If you use no other i/o, just pre-programmed motion, you could, in theory, drive 32 servos from a single avr like the atmega16 or atmega32 or atmega644, or even, my favorite, the atmega1284.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
