Free Combat

Two weight classes, three rounds of two minutes. This is a MIXED-CONTROL cohort: the regulations place manual-remote, whole-body-teleoperated and fully-autonomous entrants in the same class, competing for the same medal. RoboPodium reproduces that official cohort faithfully, and may additionally publish clearly-labelled views segmented by control mode.

RoboPodium does not currently hold a verified entrant list, draw or results channel for this edition. Draw outputs were distributed through private WeChat team-leader groups. RoboPodium therefore holds the rules and structure, and no competitor or result data.

Control policy

autonomous · permittedmixed · permittedteleoperated · permitted
This is a mixed-control cohort. The organiser places autonomous, teleoperated and semi-autonomous entrants in the same division, competing for the same medal. RoboPodium reproduces that official cohort exactly as it stands.

Autonomy-segmented view

RoboPodium-derived
RoboPodium-derived view, restricted to fully autonomous competitors. The official competition ranked all control modes together; this is an analytical segmentation, not the official result. combat-control-segmentation v1.0.0

A segmented view will be published alongside the official result once result data exists. It is an analytical cut, never a replacement for the official standing, and competitors whose control mode is unknown are shown in their own group rather than dropped.

How a result is structured

Free Combat result definition

Official
Official result as published by the WHRG Organising Committee. RoboPodium reproduces it unchanged.
  • Regular strike (arm or fist to head, torso or thigh): 1 point.
  • High-difficulty strike (leg or foot to head or torso, or a pre-approved technique): 3 points.
  • Knockdown, recovering under own power inside the 10-second count: 6 points.
  • Knockout: 10 points and the round.
  • Fouls: −1 point each, cumulative.
  • Bout: more rounds won → aggregate score → sudden-death overtime, repeated until decided.

Known unknowns

  • The valid-target diagram (figure 16) is an image; precise target boundaries are not machine-readable.
  • Judge count and scorecard format are not stated in either document.
