    Well, if you're talking "Modified Servo" motors, you can drive as many as you can refresh. Since they refresh every 20 mSec, and the drive pulse is 2 mSec per motor worst case, that's about 10 motors.

    Oh, wait, if each motor takes 100 mA when active -- the Linear Regulator should be good for 1 amp -- yes, that should still work.

    Well, you see Mr. "master", there's three or four different kinds of "motors".

    And the "Servo/Motor" is the simplist kind to interface. So the simple answer is: You can run 10 "Servo/Motors" right out of the box.

    The BOE-Bot, unlike the Mindstorms brick (3 I/O, 3 Motors), has 16 I/O pins, which you can use for input OR output as you see fit.
