It took a while but as promised, with a fully functional prototype in hand, we are proudly announcing... the surprise!
Please watch the video below for an introduction to this feature, then read on...
WHAT THE SURPRISE WILL ALLOW
- The aroused and compliant state of the brainwashing handjob can be replicated at the touch of a button - the "Good Boy" button.
- This feature will allow stimulation credits to be awarded to the male for delayed usage, both by remote control and by completion of the assigned courses. The male may earn and accrue stimulation credits a few seconds at a time by performing useful actions
- Additionally, depending on permissions set for the male, he may upload his "Good Boy Credits" to our "Good Boy Bank" where they will accrue interest. This may be helpful in teaching the male the benefits of delayed gratification and voluntary postponement of arousal.
- The motor is strong enough to arouse but it is very unlikely that the male's chastity regimen will be jeopardized by its use. At any rate, intensity and duration of stimuli can be customized (with an eye on battery life)
- The main controller of the male may decide whether other remote controls may award Good Boy credits. This function is be useful in scenarios where the male is responsible for fulfilling the needs of multiple females and for when our devices will be ubiquitous.
HOW IT ALL FITS TOGETHER
- The ability to deliver both punishment and reward is key to covering the full spectrum of Operant Conditioning.
- The new high capacity battery was chosen among other things to allow this type of stimulation which is current intensive.
- It is only because the receiver can legally be made to transmit (without crazy absorption testing requirements) that we can achieve the information flow outlined here: remote control -> temporary storage on the DL2000 -> Good Boy Bank or online reporting via the DL2KLINK.
YET TO RESOLVE
The overmolded rubber is still not aesthetically perfect. Not every part is functional after the mold process. Even successful trials are still quite fragile and repeated pulling on the cable will damage the part. We are trying to work on these issues but things are a bit uncomfortable now with Mr Tang complaining all the time about how much time this is taking. There is also an unknown involved in what kind of share Jason promised to Mr Tang and we may be asked to pay more money when Jason comes back and finds out how much we've been abusing of his friend's time.
For now though, let us just celebrate. Here are the pictures.
Bonus feature: Mr Tang thinking about the grommet waterproofing
Wow. This has been *so* much work -- I hope it isn't a "feature to far." I have absolutely no experience with this sort of thing, but it does seem counter-intuitive to be subjecting an electromechanical component to such extreme temperatures and pressures. I wonder why you couldn't just use something like a tool handle dip? http://www.plastidip.com/industrial.php
Also -- since you're using an out-of-production Soviet-era part, I presume you've confirmed sufficient quantities to continue manufacture of the DL2000 into the foreseeable future. I probably shouldn't have even asked that question. You're obviously quite brilliant and would have thought of that already.
Plastidip is our weapon of last resort because the results do not look very professional. If things keep failing and Mr Tang kicks us in the rear we'll try that route.
But you're right, this mechanical part is SO not made to go into a mold. It's got to withstand Venus' atmosphere for minutes and come back alive. We can probably do some consulting for NASA at this point :)
We've got a few hundred motors. Need to refuel the bank before someone preempts us and orders the 1000-2000 the supplier has left. Making custom motors would be splendid then we don't need to have the flex pcb sticking out and breaking or the little holes through which the rubber enters screwing up everything - but the minimum quantity is 100,000 pieces so... when we can no longer stock these and before we take over the world we'll have to go with a regular modern day motor which has a much weaker vibration (devices nowadays are much lighter so nobody makes the big motors anymore).
This video actually only tells half of the story, the other half was before finding these motors... many many nightmares including Chinese suppliers with totally made up numbers (and overinflated G ratings), tracing the source of a pretty much unmarked sample motor, then finding out they no longer make them... Full story in another post...
How is it going to work? I mean, do you simply insert it into the bottom of the cage of the CBX000 and the rubber will keep it from sliding around?
If that's the case, you could kill 2 birds with one stone by molding an electrode onto the top of it , thereby allowing the part to be used for reward AND punishment. We'd have a real love / hate relationship with that part. :-)
Initially the vibration is just enough to cause a tentative erection - when the penis responds though it pushes even harder and then the full vibration force is transmitted.
Sure, one electrode could be integrated, reducing number of cables, but making disconnection easier. It would also further increase manufacturing complexity.
We have a phrase for this in Project Management called "feature creep"; when the customer keeps extending the scope of the project. As a QA manager I see this feature adding months to the release date. The manufacturing process isn't perfected yet. What happens when the mold operator has a bad day and only produces a small number of good units? What about motor longevity? How long will the motor last under normal operating parameters? What about the customer that buys the product and this part fails after 30, 60 or 90 days rendering this feature useless. If the DL2000 is a real product, then spend the time getting it to market. This feature could be a new option or help create a second version of the DL2000.
Don't worry this is not adding time because as this is going on we're waiting for company formation, bank account setup, payment processing hookup and so forth. Our number one priority is to launch; if everything else is in place before this part can be produced reliably we'll ship without it and offer it as an add-on.
Very valid and practical comments though.
PS: The life of the motor is unknown and depends on usage. As soon as the manufacturing process is finalized we'll make a test board and keep it running intermittently and calculate total hours of operation.
I hear what you are saying, but I have to agree that it seems you guys are creeping yourselfs.
I recall that the timeline user to day that it would be done and ready to order by January.. Then Febuary.. It's now the middle of April and all we have is "Soon". Heck, we don't even have a price yet. We used to ($299.95), but since then, who knows.
It's frustrating because to me (and I presume allot of people like me), this is like christmas. It's the answer to allot of dreams and I've been waiting to open my christmas "gift" since January.
Can you just at least put a price tag on it and give us a "will ship by" date? Even if it's farther then you expect, SOMETHING would help with the wait then all of this talk of "Soon" (which to me means a few days).
Also -- since you're using an out-of-production Soviet-era part, I presume you've confirmed sufficient quantities to continue manufacture of the DL2000 into the foreseeable future. I probably shouldn't have even asked that question. You're obviously quite brilliant and would have thought of that already.
