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...

So you parallel motors on the same port to do different things? As opposed to
using a single motor mechanically coupled to different things? Is this as a
result of a single motor not being powerful enough? Or because the two
paralleled motors are moving with respect to each other so mechanical
distribution from a single more powerful motor wouldn't do it?
