RoboStix communication to Gumstix and Ditto: msg#00106

Subject: RoboStix communication to Gumstix and Ditto

Ok I am still learning about communication with gumstix and the robostix. Basically I will have to code a program on the RoboStix to accept commands from my GumStix, and then make a program on my GumStix to send commands to my RoboStix to process information or have it retrieve information. So my GumStix is the Higher thinker, and the RoboStix is my lower thinker.
 
I have already started to build a robot using that combination with the Gumstix and Mavric Microcontroller. I was hoping by the purchase of the gumstix to have a more intergrated setup, but it seams the machanics are the same. What advantage do I have with the GumStix RoboStix combo?
 
What is the recommended communication between the GumStix and RoboStix? I2C, Serial?
 
When I first purchased the RoboStix I was under the impression that thier already a built in connector to connect the RoboStix to the GumStix as they both have the 60-pin Hirose connector. Does that ability actually exsist?
