While designing this system I have been grappling with how I am going to wire up all the components, wire of course isn’t known for its thread like properties, so my options were to either wire the components through tubes mounted on the top of the fingers, until looked into conductive thread :
The next thing that caught my eye was this tutorial:

Essentially creating a flex based switch this my add another level of functionality I hadn’t thought of before, it would also in some ways remove the need for sensors on any of the fingers. This tutorial also reminded me of a device I have yet to look at and really it is the grandaddy of this whole type of idea...
