Posted this on the front of the RPS site. An adaptive, scorekeeping training glove that exploits your weaknesses.

Just wondering, James - did the WRPSS Steering Committee rule on whether vibrating massage gloves are legal in sanctioned tournaments? I know a decision was pending but I don't know if it got resolved before Wojek's death. Some of RPSNZ's more experimental players have reported these gloves as giving them an edge, not so much in the gameplay itself (if anything, the extra weight of the fingertip magnets leads to slower releases) but in the areas of: (1) the pre-match handshake, where the opponent is often unnerved by the vibrations, and (2) the ability to attract RPS groupies.

I fail to see how the Society could judge any legal and available costume, that attracts RPS groupies, "illegal".
If you turn up to play me with a vibrating massage glove though, Martin, "immoral' will be forefront in my thoughts.
