Not able to leave well enough alone... here is a centered 5x5 space board, with the alignment parks making a 21x21 square: (URL) and the clean PDF with alignment marks: (URL) This would align the centers of each square with a stud. -Rob A> (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

I like the 6x6 size. I think the frame is unnecessary. I only need to be aligned with the board, my alignment with the other bot is irrelevant. I can use the alignment marks anyway I see fit. Derek (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
