Hi,
You know the Butia robot?
http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/ 
First, we use a Arduino Mega baseboard to build our Butia.Now, we use a more 
inexpensive board: USB4Butia:
http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Usb4butia

That board (USB4Butia) can be make with low cost and with your hands:
http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/USB4buti%C3%A0

All the software/hardware is open!The more expensive component in the board is 
the micro: PIC 18F4550
We have a TurtleBlocks plugin to control the robot:

And we add Lego NxT and Lego WeDo plugins in the TurtleBlocks, making afork 
called: TurtleBots:

You think make a similar plugin for the XOurduino?Maybe, we can help you..
Regards!
