16/32 bits PIC support in PBP?

[ScaleRobotics]

The question is, does pbp support anything higher than PIC18's?

No.

if not, is their any future developments to be done towards 16/32 bit PIC's?

None that I know of.

If NO then theirs no point in upgrading...

Maybe not for you. But plenty of people would disagree with you, and say that the extra USB support for newer chips, Arraywrite/read and (depending on how old the version of PBP is) longs, etc, the upgrade is plenty worth the $25.

I'm now looking at the possible necessity to use PIC24's and above.

Just curious. Is is the 16 million instructions per second that is too slow for your application, or did you need some DSP? Or is it the "more power!" (Tim Taylor) syndrome?
