Howdy! I just launched a Kickstarter campaign for my robotics development board, Rex, and thought you guys might be interested. For robots, it was designed to be a better alternative than the Raspberry Pi and to complement microcontrollers (and basically any device with I2C) in a modular fashion, which is something I always personally wanted.
Here's the link:

Feel free to ask questions!

20A power handling? How thick copper are you plating? How wide are those traces?

Standard thickness, but the traces are enormous. The hexapod robot in the video really is running off Rex, to give you an idea of real world usage.

That looks really cool. I signed up for a board. Is there a place where I can find sample code using your new operating system?
