The projects link I was looking for last class is here. This outfit gives away the plans for their projects with full instructions via instructables and also sell kits and components for those who can’t be bothered to start from scratch.
From their site’s about page:
What We Are
We like to describe ourselves as a plucky little design house. We focus on producing delightfully fun, open source products.
Where We Are
A scattered organization we are based in Vancouver, British Columbia (manufacturing). We have satellite offices in Leeds, Yorkshire (design), and Point Roberts, Washington (shipping). There is no sprawling corporate campus to offer tours around, yet. But if you are in any one of our neighborhoods, drop us a line and we’ll see if we can arrange something.
