That's so cool! I loved seeing your LED's at competition and I didn't realize you were using a custom board. Very impressive

After we had some reliability issues, I decided to do a proper board, at Oregon City it was on a schmart board. The nice thing about this PCB is it's very easy to hand solder, so there was a lot more student involvement with putting this together than the greenwire mess that was my first design.
