But, I am very interested by your multiple motor question however. Why do you
need to connect multiple motors?

How would you create a rover-based robot with just three motors?  I want to
design more complex rovers other than the two-wheeled plus caster designs.
Something like the shrimp for instance.  The old rcx allows you to connect
multiple motors to the same port.  Also, the motor port could be used for other
sensors and powering other things as well...


Hope its possible to create an I2C port using the sensor ports.  Its a shame
they didnt create an I2C port for daisychaining sensors.  Or is the sonar port a
I2C port....

(...) My conclusion that the bus is multipurpose stems from the evidence that there is a speed sensor (optoencoder of some sort?) on the motors. I presume that means that the motor ports have both output (motor control) and input (sensor feedback). (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
