How about 10 Motors?
4x Drive (CIM)
2x Shoot (Super-CIM)
2x Intake/Conveyor (FP)
1x Pan (Globe)
1x Tilt (Globe)

How about More?
6x Drive (CIM + FP)
2x Shoot (Super-CIM)
2x Intake/Conveyor (Globe)
1x Pan (Van Door)
1x Tilt (Window)

I don't think 8 motors will be uncommon. I think we'll see a lot of robots with a loooooot of actuation this year. I can't wait.
