Im thinking of the big brick with 3 inputs and 3 outputs and the display, I think it comes with lego mindstorms.
The NXT has 4 "inputs". But one is used for the daisy-chained motor and servo controllers. The other three are the only ones really used for sensors.
on top of this, FTC has a 40 second Auto period.
The reason why this works is because of Hitechnic sensor multiplexers and prototype sensor boards which can be hooked up to multiple custom sensors.
