What is the difference between a Positional and Continuous Servo motors?

The climate action kit comes with 3 servo motors. Two of the motors are Continuous and one is Positional.

The continuous servo motors are used for driving the vehicle. The positional servo is used as an arm that can be positioned at different angles.

Positional Servo

This light grey positional servo, with its translucent appearance and gear symbol, is a nifty gadget that smoothly moves between 0 to 270 degrees and locks into specific positions along the way. It's like a precise clock hand, stopping at different angles and holding its position steadily. This feature makes it super handy in our kit, ensuring it stays exactly where it needs to be, such as controlling a seed dropper. 

Continuous Servo

The continuous servo, in its solid opaque black shade, stands out with a distinct symbol, setting it apart from the positional servo. Unlike its counterpart, this gadget doesn't have specific stopping points; instead, it's like a tireless worker, capable of moving robots forward, backward, and turning them left or right at different speeds.
