Please -do not- call Abrams-Gentile Entertainment regarding the bend
sensors.  AGE is a small design firm which happened to create the bend
sensor device for one of its projects (the Mattel Power Glove), and
it's not in the business of distributing bend sensors to us hobbyists
:-(.  They've been overwhelmed with phone calls as a result of a
citation in the Flynn/Jones robotics book, and they're trying to be
courteous about responding to people but it's become a royal pain.

However, P.K. Oberoi is hoping to get a supply of bend sensors as part
of his 6.270 Technologies business.  Your best bet for acquiring bend
sensors is to express your interest to him.  P.K. may be reached at
spedhead@athena.mit.edu.

Cheers,
Fred
