I snatched the bitmap you posted, and worked with that. I had to manually adjust some of the spacing, but I think its pretty good.

While not the greatest pic, this is what the toolpath looks like...I had to just take a picture of the screen, since it doesn't output into anything postable.

The outside is the 1/4" cutter making the 102.3mm cutout, and each hole is 5.2mm. And yes, the holes will be perfectly round...the pic makes them look a little funny.

Close?

Instead of taking a photo of the screen, leave the screen up on what you want and press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard and paste (ctrl+V) onto MSPaint. Save as a JPG and post up here

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

in its most simple form, it would take some programming, several LM55 IC chips, and various other smaller components and a great deal of time.

Reason I never pursued it are it would require a lot more money and time to construct (after the chips had been programmed), and it is illegal to have more than a two state flashing light on the front of a vehicle.

I think he means just to spin the whole light, which would just take a couple motors and slip rings. Not sure about legality, since they technically wouldn't blink.

He says it's waaay too much work. I don't think it'd be that bad, and the payoff would be sweet.

I just got a look at a the template for a circle with a 24led array and it looks GREAT. I cant wait to start construction on it. Toby's Router is full of much win.

If this one looks as good as I think it will, I might make a 3 row 72 led foglight that would be suitable as a driving light next!

Heres the template:
