yeah, but one great thing about threads like these is that they can give other people ideas for awhile after the OP is done with them. Even though i just joined, I've been visiting this site for a while now. Towards the lego bit, I'm talking about completly canibalizing them. Cutting the wires comming out to hook up to your application, hotglueing the sensor, even removing the housing. And the touch sensors are highly reliable, even if they do need to be fully depressed in order to send a signal.
