Comment Ugly flesh colour (Score 2) 113
I saw this on the news last night. Cool technology for sure, but with a ghastly flesh-coloured plastic covering... ewww...
If it were me I think just about anything would look better than a flesh-coloured rubber washing up glove. Five more fashionable ideas off top of my head (and I'm pretty much a lost cause fasion-wise):
1) no covering - gears and wires and motors visible. Might have problem with grit.
2) clear plastic - appeals to the youngster that has the clear plastic gameboy.
3) stainless steel - for the Terminator look
4) black leather glove - just cool
5) flesh-coloured plastic but custom-painted to match rest of arm and other hand.
I noticed in the news story this little girl with one of the hands, grabbing on to her mother's finger. The girl was grinning with delight while her mother was going "oww! Let go now. oww! That actually hurts. oww! Let go !"
