Actually, if you aren't giving it a signal, rotating it by hand will NOT damage it. I do it a lot and all my servos still work.
agreed now arduino setup I have a similar project, compare R/C -arduino mega 2560 2x, Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 5V/16MHz 2x, android cell and win10/win-phone BLU win8.1, the PS3 controller is a first try thing still getting documentation.
