I've been tempted several times before by the controller you linked to, except that, as near as I can tell, the only control method are the pots that come attached to the board, so some circuit bending would be required, at the least. Also, it appears that it's uni-directional, so the applicability to robotics may somewhat limited, unless you're building a shooter wheel or something similar.
