Subject: Rugged floor contact sensor

ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

I'm looking for a basic floor-pad sensor/switch--a simple open/close
contact switch actuated by stepping on a pad.  It needs to be robust,
but also function well for a wide range of human body weights--say, from
40 pounds upward. 

Can anyone suggest a good option and source?

Thanks!
