Advisability of cutting traces on Super Carrier Board

I need to build a permanent circuit with a Javelin Stamp and several ICs, resistors and capacitors. I want to use a Super Carrier Board, but I can't fit all of my stuff on there unless I cut some of the traces. Is there anything wrong with doing that?

Thanks,
Jim

    That surely will void any warranty regarding the board, and possibly
    any stamp module, if the stamp gets damaged due to the altered board.
    You could post a schematic of how you want to connect your
    hardware. Maybe altering the board is not necessary.

    Edit:
    I checked the board schematic. If you only cut traces in the
    prototype area, maybe that is allowed. Only Parallax really can tell.

    Jim,

    ·· The Super Carrier Board is designed to hold your permanent circuit.· While it tries to provide a ready to go platform you will often have to make some modifications.· Feel free to make changes as you need.· Since the board is designed to be soldered warranty isn't usually applicable anyway.
