I found the FlexiForce A301-100 Sensor that can measure up to 100 lbs of force. I researched videos to identify if this sensor would be sustainable for our use-case, since it will be bent in many different angles. I also called the FlexiForce help-line to speak with a representative, for which I asked if the sensors would be a reliable solution for our product. I also scoured the campus ECE labs for operational amplifiers and other electrical components that we will need for our system. Lastly, I ordered the sensor and the recommended electrical components necessary to test and calibrate it.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-83 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/f24-teamc1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-21-at-9.22.30\u202fPM-300x297.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/f24-teamc1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-21-at-9.22.30\u202fPM-300x297.png 300w, http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/f24-teamc1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-21-at-9.22.30\u202fPM-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/f24-teamc1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-21-at-9.22.30\u202fPM-100x100.png 100w, http:\/\/course.ece.cmu.edu\/~ece500\/projects\/f24-teamc1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-21-at-9.22.30\u202fPM.png 534w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Proposal Presentation (4hr): I spent time researching existing solutions to our problem, modelling the requirements, formulating the challenges, and diagraming the implementation\/testing plans.
