Well, we "do" try to be all things to all people - even though some
always want more and more and more ;-).

I've been fiddling up schemes related to how many sensors and effectors
you can put on this sucker, and it's more than comes on the $600 Rug
Warrior and tons more than the Parallax "Grow"-bot [only 16 I/O pins
total] - plus because of the built-in driver/servo channels, it
would appear that the PIC-o-Botboard will require less "external"
circuitry to gain the same functionality.

BTW, I fiddled some more with the input layout, dropped out 1 of the
opamps and made a 8x11 hole proto area, which allows more versatility
in what you connect to RA2/5 and RE0/1/2. The original scheme was a
bit rigid. The proto area can take a 2nd opamp, if you want it.
