End Effector was a lightweight robot built by Icebox Robotics for Season 5.0 of Comedy Central BattleBots.
End Effector was a blue, two-wheel drive, wedge-shaped robot armed with two long forks. These forks were designed to keep opponents weapons away for the main body while also driving them into the arena hazards. The forks were also used as a thwacking weapon.[1]
End Effector was successfully built in time for Season 5.0 of BattleBots.[2] However, the team decided not to travel to San Francisco due to financial and logistical constraints. The team instead was able to compete with End Effector in MechWars where it was able to win third place at the fifth season.[3]
End Effector's frame is now stripped of all electronics and is currently is mounted on team captain Matthew LaBerge's living room wall.[4]
