(notes from Lisa)
Making a really robust flex sensor and a package to contain it.
The task at hand is how to house the sensors so that the “tail” will
be protected, and still function.
We start using a perf board, then put heat shrink tubing on the
sensors in order to that the contacts were secured.

We are looking to cut a hole out of the lucite blocks.
The idea is to make a channel through it to protect the top of the
sensor from being stamped and stepped and stomped on.
So we attach the female header to the perf. board, and solder it on.

I don’t like that I can’t make a clean square cut with the dremmel
tool on the lucite-housing.
