IMHO the HandyBoard is much better (and better supported) than the
RugWarrior. Here is the MIT site:
http://el.www.media.mit.edu/projects/handy-board/
Check out Dave Baum's (the father of NQC) HandyBoard experience:

I presently have two RCXs and one HandyBoard, but am about to build
a second HB. The expansion board allows direct use of the LEGO
sensors.
Have fun,
