Things used in this project

Hardware components

Adafruit Trinket
Great, tiny, arduino-ish board! However, there are even better options like: Trinket Pro - http://www.adafruit.com/product/2010, Beetle http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1075, etc.
×2
Force sensor
This works fine, but you might want to go for accelerometers instead.
×2
Power adapter
Use cheap little phone chargers as batteries with these!!!
×1
Barrel Jack Mount
make power input easy and swappable. Other options - http://www.adafruit.com/product/610, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8734
