We've loved them from ages ago when I had our workshop make some. (They
didn't like making them, though, so thanks to SPEARLAB for doing it
instead!)

In fact, spearlab made a green lid on our request which overhangs the
edge; I think it'll now be standard, or something like that.

He also made us a 4-puck version for us, which may be on the market
already...? It's grey and blue, though, I don't know whether there will
be objections to this radical colour scheme.

But they totally rock.
