Mock up build

Basically, I started out by laying out one of my under armor shirts and literally laid blank cd's on the back to represent the location of the vibrating pads.  After that, I decided to put the shirt on and start sticking cd's in on my back to try and get a feel for where the shirt is tightest across.

I started out with the initial three with 1 on each shoulder and then one in the center of my back. Once I got those in a decent position, I put two more down a bit lower on my back on each side.

 I got them set in this position and it seemed fairly reasonable.  I then started cutting out circles of fabric so I could place them on my other under armor shirt.  I tried to match the exact positions I had found in my earlier pictures.  Notice that this markers are on the outside of the shirt.  This is just so it is easier to get a visual of where the pads will be on the inside.

 

Once I had them in place and taped down, I decided to just run a wire to represent how these pads are going to be connected.  This is just a rough idea and will more than likely be changed.

 

As of right now, the shirt is unwearable due to the fact that I used tape to hold down the fabric.  As soon as you put it on, the shirt stretches and the tape can't. For my next build, I want to use adhesive Velcro strips because I think that will work a lot better than tape and yet it is still removable just in case we want to make any changes to the overall design.  If that doesn't work, I can probably just sew pockets into the shirt where the vibrating pads will sit.
