Dev Boards for a nub

Howdy Everyone,
After having competed in the BEST competition this year with my school and doing quite well for a first year team, I have been collecting parts to build a robot of my very own. It is a robot that is going to be about the size/complexity (slightly more complex) than a BEST robot. I have rounded up all of the parts I need EXCEPT a good dev board. The BEST BRAIN (Their dev board) was nice in that it had multiple digital I/Os, servo outputs (not neccesary), as well as 4 motor outputs. I was wondering if any of the geniuses over here on the FIRST forums would know of any dev board that combines motor outputs (would you call that a speed controller?) and Digital I/Os. I was looking for an all in one solution just for the simplicity and convenience of it. If you guys think I should move up to big boy parts, a nudge in that direction would be appreciated as well.
