A fighter may kick or punch any part of the device during it's movement or while it is in a stationary sparring position. The android is fully padded from head to toe as a means of protecting the fighter and itself from injury and damage. The apparatus is designed for operation with alternating or direct current. In this fashion, it's battery may be charged before use and the apparatus may be moved to a desired location for use. The base is comprised of hollow legs through which control circuitry is routed, roller wheels and lockdown mechanisms such that the fighter can move the device into position readily and thereafter secure it for operation. The fighting apparatus is also tri-sectional for ease of transport and shipping. Finally, while the fighting android has offensive capabilities there are other safety features incorporated. The force of the punch is minimal and the fist is contact sensitive. Upon too much force or resistance being applied, the fist is mechanically and electronically retracted.

The best means to train for a sport or activity is to "safely" perform the specific movements and strategies utilized in the actual event. Thus, the reason SDT's fighting android will satisfy and overcome the obvious shortcomings of training with a passive dummy, shadow boxing and sparring countless hours with a real or imaginary partner. In addition, "Fighting Andy" provides a realistic, highly effective and above all, safe means of practicing one's skills. "Our androids don't get tired!"
