Hello, I'm trying to build a useless machine, and I need some help figuring out power supply and resistors. I have a Parallax R174 continuous rotation servo that is powered by 6 volts

I also have 6 RL5-G8045 LEDs

I then have one DPDT switch and one SPDT lever switch and a 4 AA battery holder. Given that the servo runs on 6 volts though I'm wondering if I need a bigger battery holder. I also don't know how to figure out what kinds of resistors I need or how to arrange the LED array, as in series or parallel or maybe 2 series of 3 LEDs or some other such arrangement.
If anyone could help me figure out how to wire this stuff I would really appreciate it as I am very much a novice when it comes to electronics.
Jon
