Ez-B V3 Board.. 2Layers?

Is the EZ-B board a two layer board or a multilayer board? I think I need to cut the corners off to fit it in a project i'm working on. I'm worried that I may short out any layers that may between the top & bottom. Probably have to remove the power jack and relocate the Blue led, but it should be do-able. Looks to be two layer! drwass2:)

Well I've rounded off the corners and the board still works. If I can figure out how to add pictures I'll put some up.

You are correct. EZ-B is DJ (mastermind), Alan, Cade and I (lowly master instruction follower). Solarbotics is a distributer. Thank you! (I am intrigued as to your identity.)

Great to hear! I use dropbox combined with the public folder to post image links)

To unlock the mystery, I am Jeremie. I work for Solarbotics (in the R&D department) and helped EZ-Robot with v3 of the hardware design, hence the Solarbotics logo on the first round of v3 boards. In the beginning Solarbotics was supposed to partner with EZ-Robot for exclusive distributorship but as things progressed the partnership disolved but Solarbotics is still kept on as a distributor for EZ-Robot. I personally am still a big fan of the EZ-B project and always want to help out where I can. I am still working on Optimus Prime (it's been a little while now) and his progress is documented in the project showcase forum. My secret identity has now been revealed:).

Colin is the hard working, soldering guy he's always been:). I think DJ may have been referring to his future plans with an EZ-Robot factory when talking about not having to solder anymore.
