Up Board - Accessibility Of Pinouts With ARC

Hi, I have a question concerning the Up Board (it is more and more difficult to resist to this one). Are the pinouts of the Up board accessible with ARC (like an EZB)? I have noticed that there is 40 of them, including UART, and it would be really cool if it was possible to connect the Roomba directly to the Up Board and control it with the the...

If 0v it will move to 1 if 5v it will move to 50 and so on. Please bare in mind I do hard ware, coding even in this simple way is tough for me. Thanks all. Matt
