Being the highly resourceful group that we are, we were able to procure some mobile phones in the hopes that we could extract the vibrational motors from the circuit boards and use them in our haptic feedback for the glove.
As you can see below, toothpicks are the tools of champions to open up mobile phones :D
The idea was that if we were able to get them cheaply, we could use them to great effect in our prototype glove. However, as you can see below...
It's very hard to identify what component is what. The speaker and microphone are easy to identify, but EVERYTHING ELSE is soldered down or inaccessible with normal tools.
Thus, this mission failed. Plan B will be incoming - piezo-electric speakers!
