The KiCAD Design Files for Georgia Tech RoboJackets RoboCup Small Size League's Electrical Systems

If you are a new member to the RoboCup electrical team and have never used git version control before, we highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with it by reading this guide.

However, older boards in the archives were designed using EAGLE or PCB (a program that is part of the gEDA project)

Unfortunately, EAGLE and PCB are no longer supported by their respective companies, and are not available for download. If you need access to these files, you are on your own.

Kicker Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kicker Board use?

The Kicker Board is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Kicker Board?

The Kicker Board measures 141 × 146.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.64716 mm thick.

How many components are on the Kicker Board?

123 components, from 62 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Kicker Board design files?

From the RoboJackets/robocup-pcb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Kicker Board design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which RoboJackets chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Kicker Board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
