I was interested in connecting the [Arduino Yún] to a motor shield or a Zumo, so I contacted Adafruit, Arduino.cc and Pololu, the latter makes the Zumo to get some help. Here's a summary of what I learned.

I've been investigating how to connect the [Arduino Yún] to a motor shield or a [Zumo robot|ZumoRobot]. Pololu make a number of Zumo models, some made to work with a small integrated controller,
others with an Arduino.

I contacted Pololu about connecting a Yún to their mini Zumo robot. The
Zumo acts as an Arduino Shield, plugging right into the top of the Zumo.
This page will be updated periodically as I learn more.

I contacted [Pololu|https://www.pololu.com/] about connecting a Yún to
their mini Zumo robot. The Zumo acts as an Arduino Shield, plugging right
on top of the Zumo (upside down).

!! Arduino Motor Shield V2 Compatibility
[{Image src='attach/ArduinoY%C3%BAnInterfacing/motor-shield-1438-04.jpg' link='attach/ArduinoY%C3%BAnInterfacing/motor-shield-1438-04.jpg' width='300' caption='The Adafruit Motor Shield V2 (click to view)' align='right' class='imgFloatRight'}]
I contacted Adafruit via their forum and asked if their ''[Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2 Kit - v2.3|https://www.adafruit.com/product/1438]'' is compatible with the Arduino Yún.
The full thread can be read [here|https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=166084&p=814552#p814552].
In a nutshell, while they don't have any hands-on experience with the Yún, but the Adafruit Motor Shield looks to be compatible and the board power doesn't seem to be an issue, i.e., the Yún powers the Motor Shield, not the other way around. To quote: "Motor power is a separate circuit. If you remove the VIN jumper, you can provide motor power via the motor power terminals on the shield."
!! Summary
So it looks like it'd be possible to either build a Zumo-based robot with the Yún, or one
using the Adafruit Motor Shield V2 as the motor controller.
