Questions
How big is the Backplane Board PCB?
It measures 179.7 × 127.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.96 mm thick.
What parts does the Backplane Board use?
189 parts, built around the PKJ7213WPI, PKU3511SPI, PINA740AIREMR and 0ZCG0300FF2B. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Backplane Board KiCad files?
From the CabrilloRoboticsClub/robosub_electrical repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Backplane_Board/Backplane_Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic Backplane_Board/12V_Power_Bus.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Backplane Board design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
