Even though Dave said "Olin's", I want to point out that he has also been a
significant contributor to the design, along with at least one other person
who I know lurks here but is apparently too shy to speak up (right
Stephen?).  Among other things, Stephen had the challenge of designing a
thin curved board to drive 188 LEDs (R, G and B for each of 96 units) with
replicated circuitry at odd angles.  And every gram of mass you put on that
board pulls with 1.2Kg force when spun at full speed.  Not your average LED
blinker.
