Guess what, the two internal motors have integrated Tachometers so you
always know when they are turning and even their speed. And guess what,
the CyberMaster can read the energy consumption of the 3rd external motor so
you can determine the speed of it. And you can even determine if anything has
gone wrong at runtime because you can read any if any of the 3 motors are
stalled.
There's only one catch, you don't know the direction they are rotating. But
then again, neither the RCX.... yet.

You can set up the touch sensor so it is pressed when the wheel rolls in one
direction but not the other. With two touch sensors to detect the wheel
directions, you still have one left for the bumper. (You can squeeze in more
sensors by connecting the CyberMaster sensors in series to the same port.)
