[chbot] How do I cast a Robotic Finger?

[Kay edgecumbe]

i carved my robotic hand from a sort of jandal rubber   (got plenty of it) and made it in rubber hinged segments wit a tube inserted in each segment a wire attached to the  tip was pulled and it contracted exactly as a human one would.
most mechanical fingers aresimilar  mine enclosed in a glove were weirdly real

i have a smaller hand if you --- want a hand--

Silicone in a rubber glove good enough?
