Robot 1-X R4

The final revision simplifies programming by permitting a total of 6 pin headers or using 2 pogo pins, rather than requiring test clips. The solder mask is purple, matching the original Robot 1-X design. A total of 144 will be making their way to DC26, with roughly 125 available.

The second revision was the first bulk order, and due to time constraints, blue was selected for the solder mask. When combined with the OSRAM TOPLED, it resulted in a terribly washed out color, so the LED was replaced with a white 1210 and giant blob of solder so it would work upside-down. The effect makes the "blue" look far more like a deep green, but the switch to white turned out quite well. This also permitted switching to CR0805-JW-180ELF. A total of 40 will be making their way to DC26.
