The nice thing about this is the easy debug command, and I could put the filtering on the external board...
My only question left, then, is if I could somehow manage to tie a GPS into the TTL line? Is there sufficient sample code, that I could somehow capture and parse the data, to spit out from the program/debug port? This would enable me to put every sensor device on one line, and take some of the processing load off the computer.

the 2004 edubot is a very stable platform for your work imho, but the price...
not sure you are comfortable with it. it has all you need! Yes the TTL serial is accesible. there are sample codes online to assist you with using it. Code written in MCC with C18 for C code support.
oh but beware it can only run off 5v to 9v supply. Anything more you'll probably spoils omething, anything less it'll shut down. Its made for 7.2v nominal battery packs.
