I'm buyin' one!  I was just going to sit down and design just this very
thing, why reinvent the wheel?

I've been using PICPROTO boards from Microengineering labs - they have all
the support for one PIC, but no I/O other than a big pad-per-hole prototying
area.  Saves me a lot of time when building prototypes.

I can see using this board for other things than robot prototypes - it
duplicates the basic functions for almost any controller in a handy, cheap
package.  Cool!
