I think the paint would wear really quickly due to the flexibility of the rubber... but I think a self-adhesive foil would stick better than the glue. It doesn't even need to conduct through the adhesive, we just haven't had the need to fix more yet XD
Thank you for the valuable information. I always wondered how these switches work and if they could be useful for other purposes. But unfortunately Lego messed up with their 9V-system with these "sensors". It seems to be impossible to use such a switch with normal 9V-elements, because they just short the circuit if they are triggered and therefore may cause demage.
We're basically doing a straight up short in this repair... you should theoretically be able to use a regular switch in place of these sensors, but to be fair we haven't tried.
That's actually an interesting thought... that it might be like corroded rather than rotted. We didn't try it, but we definitely will if we take another look at these.
@@NonsenseWars Late reply, but I can confirm it works! I got a Mindstorms 1.5 set recently, with one of the touch sensors dead. When I took it apart, sadly it was the squigly one. But I did try this and rubbed it on the paper. Now, comparing the two sensors, the one that was working and the fixed one, I do get slightly different resistances, and the fixed one triggers a bit later, BUT it DOES work.
a compilation with : command overide with shadowstrike, the mole with a friend with gigamesh as agent and shadowstrike as mole, robot rescue with gigamesh as rescuer and technojaw as stranded, x factor with a friend using shadow strike, critcal countdown with a friend with snaptrax and shadow strike. and that all
Nice video! you could try getting some conductive paint, like is found on the bottom of rubber buttons in keyboards/remote controls

I wonder if rubbing the carbonized rubber on a piece of paper or something will help...

do a spybotics mission please
Which one would you like to see? We did a few in our Spybotics coverage: th-cam.com/video/s-dJL7SWZtE/w-d-xo.html

@@riccardopistillo2173 Ha ha, alright we'll try to do at least some of those if we do a follow up!
