mcudogs, I just can't think if any more criticisms! It looks good to me! So, this is what people do, hanging out at home with their $10,000 software? hehe.

Oh man, one more thing that isn't required, as I didn't do it on the 3 prototypes. It might make the assembly easier, however. 2 vias near B- for the 2 ground wires that connect to the power ground of the control board. The placement of the holes should be so as to make them as close to the holes in the control board. I have to leave for school, but maybe on the wiki you can see where the 2 holes are on the control board, and figure out where they should be on the power section. I just surface mounted the 16 gauge wire (or whatever it was), which was a bit of a pain.
