Taking the Robot's Breadboard Area to its Logical Extreme
From Let's Make Robots: http://letsmakerobots.com/node/24348
In this design the whole robot controller is the breadboard area, so you wire in your desired microcontroller. It has complete flexibility at the expense of a wiring rat's nest. He's using an both a PicAxe and ATMega, but Andrew William's M44D40+ would be a logical candidate for a propeller robot as well.
I really like the compound eye concept (which I saw while reading RBB) which is also sold separately. I'm not 100% enthused with this design only using four AA cells as four NiMH cells will have a hard time driving a voltage regulator.
