More for Robotics
It would be nice to see something familiar to the Robostix but with more connections for analog and digital devices. Or create a stackable robostix so that more boards could be added if required.

Switching regulator
The board only accept 5V entry which is not friendly for robotic application. From my little experience 24V batteries are a good compromise, 12 V is too little for a reasonnable power without too much intensity, 36 V and above is a little bit too much, you then need to big regulator.

You could find a lot of 3A switching regulator for 10$ of components, the highly sensible part are the self (for the performance and EMC trouble).

Dual Transceiver Mesh Networking expansion
I'd like to find a low power, low cost-per-node mesh capable platform. I realize Mesh networking is still a developing technology, but there are a large number of possible targets for this. I feel confident that most of the major players in the mesh networking field would love to help integrate their chipsets into an expansion board similar the the NetDuo. Just make sure I can still plug in a RoboStix :) --SpeedBump

Better and Faster ADC
It would be nice to have a better ADC, say 16 bit. The 10 bits are good for some stuff, but in my experience sensing some inertial sensors required amplification to gain accuracy, but at range loss expense.
