If you really need to control more than 16 servos I'd recommend that you use an Arduino Mega instead of the Arduino Uno. It has 4 available timers on board so you can do up to 48 servos (each timer gets you 12 servos). More details here:
Ah, we are not actually controlling 18 servos. We were simply trying to understand how 1 timer can control the 8 servos FOBO has with the decade counters. But thanks for the recommendation!
