LabLog 8.0 - Rubbot VS Beer
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).
Rubbot's combat style is Grappling and, for a sex toy, puts up a pretty good front. Heineken pretty much does the 'ol rope-a-dope and goes down like a sack of potatoes.
We also posted the video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6n79SfvOKk
You'll be happy to hear that the design of our new male sex toy is speeding forward and we're already well into the next set of revisions for the second prototype. This first one's exceeded all of our expectations, but we're going to make the next one even better.
More soon.

I too have tried many "self pleasurers" and am generally disappointed. One of the best but absolutely poorest quality was the RoboCock but constantly had to tediously repaired to continue working.
I'm up for the testing, let me know when I can help.
Sex toys for men have been severely lacking in terms of effectiveness and imagination. Men have often complained that the adult toys they have purchased just don't do anything for them – no matter how many they've tried. The Rubbot seems to combine a number of qualities that other adult toys simply can not and do not include – the proper motion and the proper space for the penis to complete the necessary motions. While one would hope the toy would be covered in something other than low grade plastic (maybe silicone?), the Rubbot seems to have potential for the male sex toy market.
it's always hard to determine the line between link-spam and real comments.
we'll let this one stand, and wish Uvibes success when they launch!

Hey, cool. You could market this to the pet store dog toy market too. More $$$.
While i also have no desire to start a career as a porn star, I may be willing to be the knees to chest model for "demonstration purposes only" and I will of course be labeled "do not inventory".
Keep at it, so far this looks headed in the right directions...
Excellently written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up! Cheers.
Ok, what about "expansion", you know...girth. This is like a steel cockring, you can get trapped in that thing if it won't stretch.
WHEN CAN I START THE TESTING!?
When does the Beta testing begin.
Like Bush would say, bring it on, Laura. : )
That video was great, with the bottle changing angle and spraying everywhere.
great toy! Goes well with my FyreTV box. Someone should package those 2 products together.
oh so thats what it looks like now huh? havent been here recently. looks fun.
Does this toy have speed control
Having started exploring toys before I was ten, I've not found anything extraordinary on the market that I haven't needed to make my own improvements to. It looks promising from here.
you are kidding people? This looks like the biggest pain in the groin sex toy. Spend some time and really think about it....hard, cold plastic that could shake your willy off. Just buy an old fashion vibrator or massager, that doesn't have to be only for your penis.
for starters, that's a prototype and looks nothing like the real thing.
i'd lay odds that 3/4 guys here would tell you their hand creates much more force and motion than that.
Looks like it might be worth trying, looks a little big to hide...LOL
the happy little bouncing donut made it to gizmodo!

Wow.
In one word: SUPER.
this is the coolest toy for men i ever saw
especially if it also shakes beer (an exelent disguise 
)
Wow, I must say that this simultaneously terrifies and intrigues me. The power of it is quite impressive, and with the right material could really produce some amazing results. I can't wait for the beta and the final product. This could truly be something unique and original... in a very good way.
Wow, I love how people are going in stride with the surfboard comments. I just assumed it was a write-off as to why you're not starring in the movie yourself(thereby also keeping a PG rating). Looks like you all are making progress, I've been told some friends have signed up for beta testing already!
mmmm jumping donut. Looking good.
Take it easy on your nuts, we need more people like you to bring the masses what they have wanted for oh so long.
Looks like its coming along nicely, cant wait to try it out.
Why not just get something, like a pole, and just hold it to see the up and down movement?
Promising, though.
great video, if nothing else it makes a great dog toy!!
labRat here,
just wanted to hit a couple of the questions that are bouncing around out there.
size
not to worry, having a bottle-sized bomber won't be a requirement. currently, we've sized our sex toy for the large male side of the spectrum + extra space for something squishy. since we haven't designed the "squishy" thing yet the hole is rather big.
referring to the blog entry on sizing a sex toy for guys, we aim to accommodate anything within the green and yellow zones and hopefully some outside of that. regarding the overall product, it will end up being a product of: hole size + squishy + reciprocating mechanism allowance (and as small as possible). we want to avoid the awkward sizing prone to existing male sex toys.
motion
the cool thing we discovered with this prototype is that it's movement is dependent on how it's constrained. in the regular use-mode (i.e. sitting between your legs, constrained by something straight and stiff) it does move back and forth. left on a table it'll just jump around in every which direction.

"we aim to accommodate anything within the green
and yellow zones"
Great, works for me!!
I look forward to it's release
agreed, i dont know many guys that have a penis that resembles a beer bottle.
the little thing sure has some oomph though!
how is that accomplished?
edit: love how the dog goes after the beer
the motion comes from the reciprocating weights. it's a pretty cool effect. definitely a little unusual feeling, like holding onto a spinning bicycle tire and trying to move it around. kind of has life of it's own.
check out one of the earlier blogs for some diagrams, etc.
labRAt
a 7200rpm hard drive gives the 'wobbly' effect very well, it's a concept called 'Gyroscopic Stability" (not that that's relevant)
i assumed that it was weights, cant wait to test it!
don't know how i missed 2.0, but thanks for the link! that explains it great for me.
Great to see, good luck with the next version, I can't wait to see it!
And sorry about your nuts.
The new toy seems very interesting. It seems fairly big and bulky, is that going to be the final size or is there plans to make it less bulky
^see labRAt response above^
Hi guys,
I love the idea and the video, it looks like the beer and the dog had a good time. Some questions. It looks to me like the rubbot is more shaking then stroking, not that it wont accomplish the same thing. And speaking for the ...er... more petite among us, how goes the size adjustment for those of us not as wide as a beer bottle? And length, not having a Heineken handy I measured another bottle and it looks to me that the rubbot is about 3 inches high, is this right?
Sorry about the balls, having been kicked by my horse in that same area I can sympathize.
^see labRAt response above^
i cant wait to see the video! i'll have to wait a few hours until i get back from work, though.
as to the surfboard -- ouch, i hope you recover soon.
keep up the good work!
Who needs mentos and diet coke when you have a sex toy, beer, and a confused dog.
*LOL*
So now it's also a male dog toy?
But honestly, I would be really curious to hear a bit more details about your actual prototyping process ... for example, how did you build the prototype's case, and which of the intended features (other than scaring the dog 
) can you test with this prototype?
For the prototyping process, we have a colleague with a "3D printer". It has a tiny ABS extruder that lays down a thin layer of plastic, the tray drops a hair, it lays down another layer of plastic, and so on and so on. . .
It builds pretty nice parts. The surface quality isn't great but it works fine for proof of concept. You can see more about the 3D printers at http://www.dimensionprinting.com/
As for the test goals, of course, it was nice to confirm that the dog scaring feature is working perfectly! We've been doing other testing that we aren't eager to film, since none of our team have a desire to become a sex toy porn star
This video was mostly for fun. On the next round we'll probably try and come up with something more representative of male sex toy actual use - without going x rated. Thanks for the comments!
labRat
the rubbot really has some power man! like you said - a cat in a bath.
oh - hope your nuts get better
oh my god that is so funny. is that dog drinking the beer spray?!
