The cybermaster uses the resistors to find out which touch
sensor is connected to which switch.  If you put them in
_series_ and use raw mode you can have three distinguishable
touch sensors on one input of the RCX.

Cool. If you connect one sensor to each input on the RCX it can be
programmed to figure out what goes where itself. Excelent for modular
robots with a switch type 1 in an arm, type 2 in a bumper and so on. The
robot can figure out itself how many arms and bumpers it has. Has anyone
measured the resistances?
