       | I've been struggling with PCB/circuit design and documentation --
       | here OP lists the schematics, but I can't find layouts. Can
       | anyone hint at what software was used to produce these plans? The
       | JSON sources hint there might be layouts in there!

       | I saw vids of a Chinese "dog" style robot with wheels shredding

       | airdrop them on our shores, the West is cooked.
