[chbot] How do I cast a Robotic Finger?

[Pieter Britz]

hmmm... Richard,
do you just need a robotic finger or a whole hand?
Will the finger just point or must it be able to bend?
must the finger have traction, e.g. be able to grip something, rubbery or
smooth service?

A hand from a fashion store figurine might work too.
Cheers,
Pieter Britz.
