The first robots (Stickboy, Junior, Fingers and Bones) were built between 2007 and 2012 and their first live performance was held at the 2013 Big Day Out festival in Australia. The band started out playing covers of bands such as Motörhead, AC/DC, Pantera and the Ramones, with videos of the band becoming popular on the internet in 2013.
In early 2013, Barnes recruited John Wright of the Canadian punk bands Nomeansno and The Hanson Brothers as a songwriter and "musical director" for the group. Three songs from this collaboration have so far been released via the band's YouTube page: the original songs "Compressorhead" and "Speed Walking Lady" and an instrumental cover of the Hanson Brothers song "My Girlfriend is a Robot".
In November 2015, the team behind the band started a crowdsourcing campaign on the platform Kickstarter to raise 290,000 US dollars to build a robotic "singer".
