“No other arm is wireless and waterproof, and it’s faster than everything else and it’s still the lightest bionic hand available…I’m so much stronger than I’ve ever been.”
The hands have 360 rotation. It’s not impossible to make a reliable continuous rotation connector, but they aren’t as reliable and durable as you’d want in a daily use device.
Makes sense to save development costs on a funky connector. It also makes upgrades simpler later on since it’s a simpler connection.
You could always do both and fall back on external power when the battery dies. Thats how laptops often do it.
Until the pillow starts to get spicy…
One of the things that they keep saying is that this is the lightest bionic available, so it’s possible that physical ports are simply too heavy.
Batteries weigh more than ports though.
