The laserluke driver!

no, too obvious and it further doesn't take in consideration your contribution...
we need a name that can be easily remembered

C2-C5. How hard would it be to make them 0805? I'm worried that the limitations of 0603 caps are going to be a problem. We can get some pretty good caps in 0805.

I will look at the board tomorrow. I'm in the sack on my iPad now.

Name? Working on it... Here are some thought starters

Buck... Buck knives, Buck Rogers, Buck Naked, Buck Owens, Bucking Bronco, Pearl S Buck, Urban Dictionary: buck , Buckyballs

I'm trying... no problem for C2 and C3 but for C4 and C5 there is too little space...

Except this is a buck-boost! Not just a buck driver. Name it something else.

Yes... it could be a BuBoDrive

If you don't have the proper tools, you could try to reflow the central heatslug with paste and then reflow the individual pads with solder. I know the part is like, 5 pins in 3mm of space, but if properly fluxed I bet an oompa loompa could do it with a tiny soldering iron.
