The main board is currently based on a 16F628 chip. Migrating to 16F88 would provide the ability to use a bootloader and thus program the chip without a programmer. It'd also provide analog-to-digital conversion. 16F628 and 16F88 are quite the same but not the same :) USART pins, specifically aren't the same... This means the main board needs to be redesign
About bootloader:
Tiny Bootlader: small, 16F88 compliant, looks great. See also the comparison matrix

Python Tiny Bootloader: Tiny Bootlader uses a windows GUI. Don't want that. This python script would help.

Tinybl works nice with its default win GUI, if using VirtualBox...

OK, it's been weeks (even month) pytbl can now work, thanks to several debugging session with the author. Still, there's no full integration, since pytbl needs to be rewrite/refactor.
For now, I'm not sure having pytbl fully integrated this is priority. This can be time-consuming, and not directly related to SirBot...
