GVSDuino Rev X2
GVSDuino takes two awesome boards and puts them together on one board taking the best of each and improving on both. GVSDuino is the combination of an Arduino UNO and a GVS Shield.
The board is a minimalist Arduino design without a USB interface so it requires an FTDI board such as the USB-to-TTL Converter board to connect up to a Host Computer.
The board has GVS connectors for all of the Processor I/O pins. GVS started out as the Servo pinout and has grown to be the standard for many Sensor cards. The advantages of GVS pins are that they bring power and ground out for each I/O connection. This makes it easy to hook up three wire direct cables to many sensors which are already set up for GVS connections. The GVS pins are standard 0.1" pitch .025" square headers. Cables can be purchased from many sources, but I like Pololu best since they sell pre-crimped wires and crimp connector housings of various sizes.

Mounting Holes
One of the things which separates the GVSDuino from other boards are the mounting holes. The board has four solid mounting holes, one in each corner allowing 4-40 hardware to be used to solidly mount the board into an enclosure.
