Coverage and known gaps
A statistics platform is only as trustworthy as its account of what it does not know. This page is maintained as carefully as the data itself.

Why some coverage is still incomplete
RoboPodium holds verified competition data from the WHRG Organising Committee for athletics: 47 competition entries and 8 verified match results, football: 61 competition entries and 85 verified match results, table tennis: 12 competition entries and 21 verified match results and wushu: 24 competition entries and 1 verified match result, together with the group standings and qualification states the committee published with them.
No knockout draw has been published in any source RoboPodium holds, so no bracket, pairing or kick-off time is shown for one. Equivalent official coverage is not yet available for free combat. The draw that fixed starting order and group composition for athletics, gymnastics, weightlifting, dance, wushu, pitch-pot, tug-of-war, table tennis, free combat and the scenario events was held online on 7 August 2026 and distributed through private WeChat team-leader groups.
An empty cell above is a gap RoboPodium is declaring, not one it is filling. It could infer or scrape approximations. It will not. A wrong result published confidently costs more than a gap declared honestly.
Deliberate exclusions
- Participant certificate lookup. The organiser operates a certificate self-service system gated on personal ID number and name. It is personal data and is excluded on privacy grounds. RoboPodium’s retrieval layer refuses that host outright.
- 2025 WHRG backfill. No official 2025 results document, medal table or standings could be located. The available claims are media-derived and mutually inconsistent; even the dates are reported three different ways. A backfill would seed the record with exactly the kind of unsourced assertion this platform exists to refuse.
- RoboCup match-level history. The Humanoid League publishes match results as images. That is an OCR problem with a heavy review burden, and it is deferred rather than approximated.
Unresolved source conflicts
- 3v3 football pitch dimensions. The 2 July regulation states 22×14 m; the master rulebook and first-batch rules state 14×9 m. Recorded as a conflict, not silently reconciled.
- Table tennis match length. The second-batch trial rules (15 June) specify best-of-5; the master rulebook (1 July) and the regulation (2 July) specify best-of-3. The later documents are taken as current and the earlier position is retained.
- Free combat target areas. The valid-target diagram is published as an image, so precise boundaries are not machine-readable. Judge count and scorecard format are not stated in any located document.
