The botboard does not incorporate motor drivers; the Handy Board does.
The handy board is smaller, and fits into a commercial plastic
enclosure with the battery pack underneath.

The botboard has prototype area; the handy board does not. The handy
board has support for an LCD screen; the botboard does not.

See information about the handy board at

Dear Fred and other handyboarders,

This might be a strange question for this group.

I am busy making a little robotlike object. As I have several Basic STAMPs
laying around, I am making it multiprocessor - however, STAMPs don't have
interrupts, which makes their inter-communication a bit difficult.

Looking around I found the handyboard, but also recently in comp.robotics,
Fred himself pointing somebody to the BOTbaord2.

My question is: what are the differences, the strong and weakpoints of both
designs?

Thanks,
