I have 1 MC40A from last year 1 cent promotion :)

The on board Driver is L293B, you should be able to control up to 1A of current for motor. Extra 2 motor you need to use the free IO. The free IO means the part where you see the header pin at prototyping area, near to LCD.

If you look at the User's Manual clearly, it do state that the pins under the prototyping section are the free IO pins.

Also, check the schematic.
