IR board improvement

Attached is a new schematic for the IR board. I will be posting the layout within the next few days. I am posting the schematic to get feedback from teams before I do a layout. Once the layout is done, I will post the Eagle and gerber files for any team that wishes to build there own board to replace the board provided in the KOP. I have added a diode for reverse polarity protection and an electrolytic cap to help with any ripple. I have also increased the value of the current limiting resistors for the LEDS from 240 to 330. Any other suggestions let me know. Also, the finish board will have a ground plane covering the bottom layer.
