Yeah but it would have been an expensive option I think. There would have to be
a built in DC:DC converter to increase the USB 5 volt supply to the necessary
internal 9v. And that means the only about 200mA would have been available
internally as the 500mA USB max was approached. This may have managed one motor,
perhaps.
