In October of 2013 Rich flew to Los Angeles, USA, to meet up with Mick Ebeling and the group from Not Impossible Labs.  His soul purpose was to teach Mick how to put together a Robohand and Roboarm.
The few short days they had in LA together were not enough to transfer the knowledge so Mick flew to Johannesburg, South Africa on his way to the Sudan to spend a few extra days with Rich to complete his training. The best was he had a live subject to practice on!

I first heard about ROBOHAND in early February 2013, on Talk Radio 702 when John Robbie telephonically interviewed Richard [Rich]. I sent an Email to Rich who had lost 4 fingers whilst using a circular saw and told him of the loss of the top two segments of my left hand index finger after being bitten by a Violin spider on 28th August 2011.
