Version one is our maker edition; Breadboard and Arduino model.

We focused on testing different types of sensors (flex sensor, FSR, and hand-made pressure sensors, foil sensors) and form factor. As well as testing the connection model with PC/ mobile devices.

For the look, we tried a foam ball, glue gun to stick fabric together for a prototype. We purchased an Octopus plush from amazon and stuck the face on him.
