Questions

What parts does the RB3 use?

9 parts. 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 RB3 KiCad files?

From the DrGlaucous/FightingRobot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RB3/Schematic/Schematic/Schematic.kicad_pcb and its schematic CommonFirmware/RetroTransmitterConversion/Schematic/Schematic/Schematic.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RB3 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask DrGlaucous before reusing the design.
