Here are a couple of pictures of the circuit board in its current state. As you can see, I've started putting on the wires... there will be 56 of them. Also got the solder braid and cleaned up the spots that bugged me.
If you look closely on the right of the picture you can see where I glued the circuit board. Its holding nicely so I'm continuing on.
Talked to one of my friends today (hi Jon!) and he gave me some good ideas on the base so I will be exploring that. He also sent some links to interesting things... One for a power module that might actually work out for my cube so I'll probably buy a couple just for fun (http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/2110) and a couple of videos related to an astromech project that he is working on... Not sure I'm willing to take on a project like that but it sure looks cool. Maybe next year? :)
Update: HOLY COW the shipping is expensive on those Pololu things... $18 for 2 $15 parts... wtf
