That invent your own sex toy contest sounds like fun, but if you were thinking of designing a lightweight aluminum alloy thruster/vibration combo fucking machine with a custom-made actuator system and extensible GUI software interface ... don't bother, because it's already been done. Fortunately for the makers of the ShockSpot, though, we don't really understand what most of those terms mean, so there was never any danger of us beating them to the punch. This sleek device looks like something that Wall-E might fall in love with, but it's really just a computer controlled sex toy with customizable vibrating and/or thrusting patterns that you can save, re-use and even share with friends. It's pretty complicated stuff, even if the website looks like it was designed in an entry-level computer science course 12 years ago.

(Oh, and the most shocking part? How about the $2,200 price tag? Guess they won't be giving that idea away anytime soon ... )
