I personally know how good I am at destroying hardware. Is not uncommon to try
to fix something and ending up destroying it even further, specially when a
soldering iron is involved.
More that 3 sensor inputs should be accessible to everybody, not only to an
elite.

Would it be worth my while to make some 4-into-one adaptor bricks and
offer them for sale?

It would consist of an 8 x 2 peg brick (for 4 bump sensors) with a
flying lead to a 2 x 2 hole brick which would plug into a single RCX
input.

Presumably with a resistor array so as to give different analog values
depending on which sensors had been hit?

How many would people want, and how much would you pay?

*If* they discriminated between the different sensors, one or two, up to
about UKPounds 35/US $50 each (though I would prefer it if they were
less)
