Verified public results
Independently reported by two or more separate sources and checked against them. RoboPodium has not matched the competitor to an entry on an official list, so these are not counted in the coverage figures above, or in standings, rankings or records.

Divisions
| Division | Eligibility envelope | Notes |
|---|
| 100 m Large | Height > 140.01 cm | Robot height > 1.4 m. |
| 100 m obstacle | No published eligibility limits | No height cohort. Entry elects autonomous or teleoperated, locked at entry. |
| 100 m Small | Height ≤ 140 cm | Robot height <= 1.4 m. |
| 1500 m | Height > 120 cm | |
| 400 m Large | Height > 140.01 cm | |
| 400 m obstacle | No published eligibility limits | No cohort split published. Sixteen obstacles, run two lanes abreast, new for the 2026 edition. Distinct from the flat 400 m: the times are not comparable and the two must never share a table. |
| 400 m Small | Height ≤ 140 cm | |
| 4x100 m relay | Height > 120 cm · 4 on pitch | Height floor 1.2 m, not a cohort split. All four robots must be the same model — the one WHRG athletics event exempt from the one-robot-per-entity cap. |
| Long jump | No published eligibility limits | |
| Standing high jump | No published eligibility limits | Three attempts. Measured as ground to LOWEST point of body at apex. |
