RI man will face the Uncanny Valley and return defeated, it is designed to work with elderly, like my grandma, who refused to use the microwave oven for like 6 months after we were using it because it radiates the food... tough luck chum!

They shouldn't be made. I think one day, something is going to go horribly wrong and some of the world is going to die. If you do continue to make them, just be very careful.
