Questions

How big is the SAM PCB?

It measures 95.8 × 90.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SAM use?

27 parts, built around the HC-SR04 and MPU-6050. 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 SAM KiCad files?

From the dvmbnks/SAM-ROBOT-CONTROLLER repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB-KICAD_Files/SAM.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB-KICAD_Files/SAM.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SAM design in my own project?

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