If by BOE, you're referring to the Parallax Board of Education that you can get for the Stamp processor, and not the robot prototyping kit from IFI, it's kind of a mixed bag...while the BOE will help you learn PBasic, writing control code using direct Stamp access to the motors, etc., is a lot different than using the SERIN/SEROUT methods used by the Robot Controller...
