Smash Bot Brawlers presents new Kung Fu Fighting Robot ENDEAVOR II and the return of SHOTWELL. Endeavor II is an open-source, 3-D printed, middleweight fighting robot with 17 high torque servos, designed by ProtoDane Robotics. Endeavor II tips the scales at 3 kg, with ESP32 for programmability and optional IMU for dynamic balancing, powered by a massive 80C 5200maH LiPo battery with relay cutoff. A Bluetooth Nintendo Switch gamepad provides all manner of punches, uppercuts, blocks, dodges, plus emotive gestures and dance moves. Shotwell, designed and built by Kris Magri of Robot On!, is a lightweight Kung-Fu Fighting Robot with 15 metal gear servo motors for forceful punches and lighting quick maneuvers. Shotwell entered the arena for the first time at Robogames 2023, weighing in at 1.9 kg and 14 inches tall, placing fourth in Kung-Fu and taking silver medal in weight lifting. Shotwell utilizes a leg linkage which keeps the legs parallel to the ground, a waist rotation axis, and 2000 mAh LiPo battery.
