DIY Capacitive Pressure Sensing Robot Fingertips

In this science short we explore the robotic challenge of picking up an egg without breaking it. We explore a DIY capacitive pressure sensor that you can make at home, and how to incorporate it into a project. In the video, I refer to the bonus 555 timer lessons available for free preview and downloading of the cheat sheets on Jet Pack Academy: https://jetpackacademy.com/lesson/bon... I also mentioned a blog post in which I discuss servos and what they are in a robotics design challenge: https://jetpackacademy.com/robotics/q...
