Re: PCB Programs?
I haven't been on a FIRST team that makes their own PCBs before, though that would be pretty cool. As an engineering student at UT, we use Eagle for PCB design. It's free and easy to use, and outputs standard gerber files that can be sent to PCBExpress and manufactured for $33/board. The boards usually come with free popcorn and coupons for a free large dominos pizza, so it's a great deal. (I guess they know robotics nerds like pizza)
