public interface MotorDispenser

A MotorDispenser is created for each Activity instance within a scenario. When a thread is created, the motor and its input and action instances are resolved. The MotorDispenser is responsible for choosing how the motor is resolved, whether that is a shared thread-safe motor or, more conventionally, a separate motor per slot.
