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 references for questions.  Thanks again.

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.

useful when you are moving something _heavy_, or when you need two motors
in two places doing the same thing.  Keep the extra motor.  When you need
it, you'll need it bad.  Heck, I've got at _least_ 10 motors (6 new style,
2 old style, 2 micro), and I don't feel I have enough.
