Please Consider Getting this guy (Jonathan Oxer) from Superhouse.TV/Freetronics on The AmpHour
He is an Australian Electronics Engineer who has automated his whole house using Arduino's with POE, Etc.
He has also worked on a cube satellite.
In his video about his lab, he says that he listens to The AmpHour, and in one of his other videos he goes to one of those conferences, and the first person he bumped into is Dave who was discussing the Mantis with the person at the booth.
In another video, he is using his EEVblog ruler to mark off a box he is constructing
This guy is very good (in my opinion), and should provide some decent content
