Swazoo, the new Moto Cape from Circuitco (available first week of July) is based on the Arduino Moto Shield with the L298 (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9815). the schematic and design files for both the Moto Shield and Moto Cape are released under open source Creative Commons license are available as a reference:
