I have a few boards I'll need to get made over the next few months, so to warm back up with EAGLE, I polished up a straight (normal) trace version .105 board and set to curving it up. It took about an hour and a half, going around trace by trace in move mode, lots of command-clicking and dragging in the middle of trace segments to adjust their arcs. I submitted it to the DorkbotPDX PCB order before the deadline hit, and I can't wait to see what I get :) Design files and snapshots can be found here.
A key goal of the design is to have a good single-sided pattern for home etching, so I'll also make one by hand after fattening up as many traces as possible.

Compare to V.105C, with curvy traces:
The Arduino was the gateway to my robotics career. I had messed around with Lego Mindstorms and Vex Robotics, but I began to get more practical knowledge of engineering, programming, and robotics when I found out about the Arduino. I have even made a ball-balancing robot using the Arduino. It is a robot that balances on a basketball. We made it for our senior design project at Southern Polytechnic State University. The possibilities with the Arduino are truly limitless.
