Shopping List: Rugged, Clean Handgemacht Touch Sensors
A shopping list for a nice, clean way to make touch sensors.

What you need:

Wires - ours were slightly longer than 1m (to reach the floor, and to be inserted into the bag).
Cardstock (150lb, I think...).
Metallic duct tape.
Foam wrap (2-3mm thick, usually used for shipping electronics).
Sponge - Art / Craft material (1.5mm thick - found in arts and crafts stores)
Book binding tape (25-30mm wide - a special weaved material, because it's strong and clean)

+ all the general tidbits for hacking: microcontrollers (for testing), solder + iron, cutters, blades, etc...

Hacking is not about asking what can be done, it's about doing it!
Get a keyboard and post the results :D
