I know Lego makes one for WeDo; but I don't think they make one for Mindtorms. Hitechnic makes one that we could use in previous years with FTC, but it's obviously not Lego-branded.

Don't they make a sensor hub?

BillMore importantly, that would violate Rule R05.Just to be clear, r.e. "You'd need a multiplexor of some sort", that is most likely a violation of Rule R01.To the best of my knowledge, there are no "LEGO-manufactured" multiplexors. You can find ones manufactured by other companies, but those are not allowed in FLL.
R01 – All Equipment – All Equipment must be made entirely of LEGO-manufactured building elements in original factory condition.
R05 – Other Electric/Electronic Things – No other electric/electronic things are allowed in the competition area for Mission related activity.Best of Luck! Have Fun!

You'd need a multiplexor of some sort to extend the 4 ports of an EV3/NXT controller.

That's pretty much what we were reading into this, too.

If you use the guide as designed, you're right. Nothing says you have to use the guide though. There is no method constraint listed.

I have a question about the transport mission. The rules state,
M03 – Transport – The distance a discarded material may need to travel is an important part of the equation when decidingwhat to do with that material.●● Basic Mission Description: Load the all-Yellow Material Bin onto the Truck to be transported east/unloaded.●● Specific physical requirement, visible at the end of the match (score one or both):• Value: 50 The Truck supports all of the Yellow Bin’s weight.• Value: 60 The Yellow Bin is completely east of the Truck’s Guide.
My confusions is that both requirements are "visible at the end of the match." If You have gotten the truck east of the guide via the track, then the yellow bin will have fallen off the truck at the end of the guide, as designed. How, then, can both conditions be true at the same time (unless, as my team has pondered, that we back-track up the guide, and move around it)?--
