Only supports three motors--yes, in theory. The facts: 1) that third port could be connected to a light; 2) you can hook up more than one motor to a port, just be prepared to have both run the same.

I'll have to wait for a third motor to be included in the normal Mindstorms kit. Ouch.

Also, there are numerous books about stuff to do with Mindstorms; I have one on robotic sumo wrestling....
