Sounds pretty cool!

Sounds good, but I would suggest adding something to the BEC if you plan on using a switching one. Switching BECs can fail and if they do, will send full battery voltage to the brain.
The V3 MMM has a new sacrifical TVS on the BEC output from what Patrick's said, which is designed to kill the BEC output if it ever rises above 7.5V...so there shouldn't be a risk of a full-voltage runaway if the BEC does fail. At least, that's what I gather to be the case, so CoreyFro's Robostix should be safe.
