Re: MXP Breakout Boards
Since we started beta testing, one of our students has been working on a design for an MXP breakout board. We've been through a few iterations of the design, and were about to send one out when FIRST released their blog post with preliminary definitions and rules. We're unsure if this now classes the board as active or passive.

As a result, we have created a stripped-down version to be purely passive - same board, sans some components. We are still pursuing the original board with FIRST.

We will have a blog post up about it later today, along with EAGLE files. We're just doing a final review of the board. We will post a link when it's live.
