Or ocnfiguration--
Up to 4 touch sensors, wire out, to top of 2x8 electric plate
*1* wire from 2x8 electric plate to 1 sensor on RCX
In this fashion, if any button is pressed, the RCX doesn't care which one.
The simpler thing to do is attach all wires right from the touch sensor to one
sensor port--stack 'em on top of one another. There's your 'OR'.
