The panels can be found at Adafruit and Sparkfun. The shield was made by OSHpark.

On the BBB side of things, we can play any properly scaled video that FFMpeg can handle at over 60fps. There is a UDP socket on port 9999 that accepts compressed RGB frames to display, and we've written a pygame compatible library for that. Source modifications are here: https://github.com/hackcasual/LEDscape

I've hacked with LEDscape myself a bit. Nice job connecting it up to FFMpeg.

Can I encourage you to register your project on http://beagleboard.org/project? Also, it would be fun to do a blog post about your robot build on http://beagleboard.org/blog. Let me know!
