If you get your hands on a Nintendo power glove you'll find some in the
fingers of the glove.
That's what I've been told!

they look fairly interesting to implement bumpers or to use in wall

dollar". So far I found them on only one place on the web and they are
charging $10 a piece! I called AGE (the distributor listed in the yellow
page in "Mobile Robots" as the source for this hardware) and they don't know
what I'm talking about ;^(.

That's great. I'll make sure to build a web page with schematics and
software when I have a working version of my robot  to help whoever come
after me!
