     @fribbledom Not to be confused with the small business method: order 5000 PCBs, then I come along and point out changes that need to be made, which rework costs make it cheaper just to go with a new revision. =:)

     My Professor: We have to buy a lot more otherwise the cost per board is too bad, I want to cheap out even if we probably won't need this quantity.

     Next week: Board design is borked, everything can go to the bin.

     To be fair, these are very complex high-current motor control boards with a stacking option.
