Claim 13:
14. A system for torsion tracking, said system comprising:
a first plate having a first planar surface;
a second plate having a second planar surface,
wherein said first planar surface and said second planar surface are opposite one another and face one another;

a first circuit portion attached to said first planar surface and a second circuit portion attached to said second planar surface,
wherein said first circuit portion and said second circuit portion form a wireless tag when said first planar surface and said second planar surface come within a distance that triggers interaction between said first circuit portion and said second circuit portion;

a spring providing an opposing force between said first planar surface and said second planar surface;
a screw disposed through said first planar surface, second planar surface, and spring,
wherein torquing of said screw into an entity results in compression of said spring and causes said first planar surface and said second planar surface to come within said distance that triggers said interaction between said first circuit portion and said second circuit portion; and

an interrogation device configured to receive a signal from said wireless tag.
