If these lines are purely digital communication lines, adding additional motors
will be easy via a multiplexor attached to one of the RJ11 output. Building the
multiplexor (or any custom sensors) may not be as easy though. It looks like
you will need some sort of microcontroller in the sensor. Luckily PIC
programmers and the like are cheap now.
If you think about it, the seven RJ11 should not be any different from each
other. There is obviously two way communication going on over all seven jacks.
Why would they waste time making 2 or 3 different types of jacks if the same
things were going over them?
If all these ports are the same, it should be easy to hack the software to
attach motors to any port. However, 6 AA batteries is only enough to power
three motors... (and that's also why they would limit it)
