Hi, I'm new here, so if I'm missing something, sorry!
Seems what you are describing is just what I'd call a "relay switch".
The output signal from the RCX goes to a switch, which switches the
external power going to your motors.
Seems to me such a switch would be very useful working with Legos Robotics.
I like the idea of powering motors from a different source than the RCX.
Also useful for any hybrid design where the RCX is controlling things not
related to Legos (like Knex).
