Jesse Sullivan lost both of his arms from electrocution when he worked as a high-power lineman. Here, he demonstrates the Proto 1. He is able to control plastic cups with a controlled grip that does not crush the cup. He can balance the cups and build a pyramid by using sensory perception rather than relying solely on vision.
