The first three boards are almost here! I finally got around to ordering the 0603 capacitors and motors. I won't add the motors to the component list till I'm sure the robot will be stable. I selected a 3.7v Li-Po with 680 mAh, however I will be running v0.8 tests directly with my bench supply until I have completed debugging the board. Let the wire-bodging begin! I am sure the 328p will tap out after few minutes on that battery anyway. Unfortunately that is the way things are going to be till I find a cheaper and less power hungry micro-controller.

I also added the RST1 button and S1-S5 3d files to the KiCad model. It was a real pain to get the model placed directly on the pad. Thank you eazyw for kicad stepup! It made going from Rhinoceros 4.0 to FreeCad to KiCad a little easier.
