SparkFun MiP Proto-Pack

This is the SparkFun MiP Proto-Pack, a small PCB that can be attached to the MiP Robotic Platform to create custom additions based on your needs. The Proto-Pack screws into the MiP's battery pack and gives the user a fair sized soldering area and a section to solder on a 4-pin Expansion Socket that can, when used in conjunction with an Expansion Cable, be connected to the MiP's hacking port.

Each Proto-Pack offers plenty of space to prototype with .1" spaced through-holes. With this PCB you should have no trouble designing and creating whatever kind of add-on you would like to be attached to your MiP Robotic Platform.
