I've been thinking about making an ESC board for quadcopters based on the C2000 launchpad (on its way :-) ).
I believe the Piccolo's high-resolution PWM outputs would make it an excellent candidate for controlling 4 hobby-BLDC motors.
Most Hobby-BLDCs are sensorless, so one must use the inactive windings to sense the phase, but I believe it should be fairly easy to make a board that can handle both situations with little or no physical modification.
Cheers,
