A lot of people ask me about how to use sex toys. Some of them even ask me why you'd bother? Shuuuurely your girlfriend is better than any male sex toy, even the Rubbot.

Clearly the masses need a little education on this subject, so, for your reading pleasure, I've assembled a short list explaining why the Rubbot is better than your girlfriend. And yes, I'm talking about your girlfriend.

The new layout created some extra space so why not toss another motor in there?

. . . and what would we use this new motor for?

Vibration yo! Chicks dig it - why not use it in a male sex toy too?

Just what every male sex toy needs - antlers!

Merry Christmas from Rubbot.

We've been busy since the Rubbot VS Beer video. If you were paying close attention you may have noticed that we've already started to refine the industrial design and turned a second set of plastics.

You're not going to believe this - I don't!

If you read the recent toy talk blog you may have heard about my little incident. Yes, days after receiving our first prototypes my surfboard flips sideways and crams me right between the legs. Uggghh. We have this amazing new male sex toy and I can hardly walk and . . . well, things are purple.

But the show must go on and testing needs to happen, so my substitute was a fresh Heineken and the event was officiated by Sport (the dog).

We breathed life into our precious little hell spawn this week and the results where impressive. To be honest i was a little worried that it wouldn't do much. I felt like i was putting a bird inside a beach ball and hoping the ball would fly away. After hastily assembling the prototype, and firing it up, it started jumping around in my hands like a cat in a bath.

We've had a lot of action around here lately and the launch countdown has been brought to the fore. The folks at Slashdong wrote an article on Rubbot which was quickly followed with a similar male sex toy post on Fleshbot. There's been a lot of interest flooding in and we're pretty encouraged by it. It's also encouraged us to strengthen our patent position - we already have several patents pending on this thing! So, I guess we better get things moving here in the lab and bring some prototypes to life. Do some test drives and see. . . if smiles are made, if magic happens, if cigarettes are smoked, if respect is still present in the morning.

The last LabLog entry opened a bit of a Pandora's box. As soon as i started talking about wiring everyone wanted to know if they'll be able to hook our wonderful new sex toy up to their computer. I say, sure. Why the hell not?

We did some digging - check out the toytalk blog for some cool history. After countless diversions into the dark corners of the internet I managed to come up with some useful technical information.
