http://www.RadioShack.com/ sells PC boards which already have places to mount components and pads to solder them together. You can use them to build just about anything.

They even sell breadboards and matching PC boards if you want to design and troubleshoot on a breadboard and move everything directly to a PC board.

My problem with this year's rules is that it doesn't allow us to use external hall-effect current sensors, so to use them, we would have to run our motor wires through the box. If they allowed external sensors to be added, that would be great.
