Output, not input! Two motors on one output.
The way you run two motors on one output is you stack the 9V connector leads on
top of each other. They have conducting studs on the top to allow another 9V
connecting lead to be connected to the end of the first 9V connecting lead. You
can either connect both leads directly to the RCX output, or you can run the
second lead from the top of the first motor.

| Robert, Thank u for the tip. BTW i'm a bit mentally challenged when it comes to lego's & robotics so please excuse the confusion about output/input! : ) 90% of the stuff on this list is jibberish to me, but i stay on so that i can learn, & collect (...)
