On the handy board, this is different, isn't it? I didn't think
that the center pin was V+... In fact, isn't it not a connection at all?

Isn't this supposed to read, "Now connect the COLLECTOR of one
2N2907 to the base of Q1, connect the EMITTER of the 2907 to a 180 ohm
resistor..." The way it's written just doesn't seem right.
Also, would it be possible to create a similar circuit using
non-darlington transistors, such as TIP 31 or 41's and their PNP
counterparts? They are much more readily available to me!

| I think the question on how to run higher current motors has got to be the most asked question here. Maybe we should add more info to the FAQ or something. Anyway, here is Chuck McManis' solution from a while back. I hate to send out something that (...) (29 years ago, 5-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
