Just wondered if anyone is aware of a cheap solution to be able to use robot hands wirelessly to discharge a CRT?

The only "robot hands" you need are two alligator clips soldered to each end of a stout wire about 1.5-2 metres long. One "robot hand" to chassis ground or a big metal thing nearby. The other "robot hand" on the metal shaft of a flat-head screwdriver.

Keep one of your real hands in your pocket.
