Goat Meter from team Thorussel @ Witlab
https://github.com/hellowitlab/Caprometro/tree/master/immagini_caprometro/immagine_caprometro2.jpg
This thing is used for printing on a lcd screen the scores of two different teams. It is provided with three different special buttons made of a conductive gel. The two with the goat shape are used for adding points with, a goat moan in the background and a goat made of wood glued to the servo motor will make you lough. The button in the middle, with an elephant on a sprng, is used for resetting the scores of the two teams.

Before programming the touchboard you can use the Arduino IDLE but you need to install several stuff, see https://www.bareconductive.com/make/setting-up-arduino-with-your-touch-board/). They give you some examples too.
// touch includes
#include <MPR121.h>
#define MPR121_ADDR 0x5C

The bare conductive touchboard with his ELECTRODE SOLDER PADS gives you a great and creative way of creating things with sounds or with the use of the conductive jel.
We firstly tryed it with an Arduino and a bread board and than we added sounds and touch buttons so we had to use another type of board for the final project (see the folder named FRITZING IMAGE).
