One of Rubbot's prime mandates is to be fun and light-hearted, where male sex toys tend to be nasty and sleazy.

Everyone takes care of business from time to time so there shouldn't be any stigma around it right?

uhhmmm heh uhh . . . you weren't waiting for me where you?

So, it went kind of like this. . .

Hi folks,

This is just an RSS note to check out ToyTalk's blog update on the beta testing!

I'll be adding my two cents soon - I swear!

I know you're all anxious to find out about the beta testing results. For me, though, it's time to relax.

My little babies are out in the world, finding their own way. I can kick back and wait for the feedback and the subsequent barrage of design refinements.

Yay! We finally figured out an easy way to do this.

We've put together a quick questionnaire. Remember to note your Rubbot.com username when prompted - so we know who's who.

Follow this link to take the questionnaire.

Good luck!

We're finally there!

It didn't assemble itself and bounce down the hall looking for something to rub, like i'd hoped.

None-the-less, the new design of our male sex toy is smooth and powerful and ready for field testing!

Just a quick update from the front lines.

Quick response to the comments on the last blog: sounds like customization isn't a big priority, so we're not going to waste time on that. That's not to say, with a little ingenuity, you can't tweak out the Rubbot to cook you bacon and drive you to work. We're just not going to tell you how to do it ; )

Good evening Rubtopolis,

When we started this project i didn't have much faith that a website about male sex toys would gather useful feedback, but you guys have been great! Thanks for all the thoughtful responses and comments on the last blog.
I have to say i was pretty set on compression over squishy but there's an obvious leaning toward squishy

When we did the Rubbot VS Beer video there seemed to be concern about the size of a beer bottle in comparison to the size of the average dude's favorite appendage. Well, you can rest at ease because we're designing this male sex toy around the average Joe and not necessarily the guy that goes by the handle, "bottle cock".

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.
