Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Cruft on the telly
Since several people have posted about burglar alarms with pressure mats, it reminded me of this.
I crufted up the original design for the player mobility stations on top* 1990's TV series Cyberzone using pressure mats from burglar alarms and a number of different lengths of colored wire.
