It is possible to run a line of conducting paint across the LEGO brick* joints in order to form a breakage sensor. When a break does occur it can then easily be repaired by painting over the break point. It is also possible to solder lead wires directly onto the conducting paint.** If melting of the underlying plastic becomes an issue*** tabs cut out of semiconductive paper can be glued to the bricks at each end of the sensor.
* or other component pieces
**or use conducting epoxy
***this has not been a problem with LEGO pieces
