Power Laces Auto-Tie Shoe

Inspired by the film "Back to The Future II," Blake Bevin combined a shoe and Arduino microcontroller to create Power Laces (technically only one.) When he steps in the shoe, a force sensor activates servo motors to tighten its laces. He included a touch switch to reverse the process. Blake is an entry in Instructable's USB contest and would appreciate votes from Marty McFly fans.
