[Robotgroup] Printing PCBs

[Leslie Filip]

Vern,

Let me pipe up at this point and remind you of one of the many  
lengthy discussions we had regarding spreading out knowledge and  
skills. If more than one person has a PCB kit that can not in any way  
be a bad thing. The kits are not terribly expensive like, say, a  
video projector where having two is a waste of resources.
