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-derivedRoboPodium-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
OfficialOfficial result as published by the WHRG Organising Committee. RoboPodium reproduces it unchanged.
- Official final placings are published per weight class, first to fourth, with the size of the class.
- The scoring below is the regulation. RoboPodium holds no bout, opponent, round or score for this sport, because none has been published.
- 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 result notices carry a bracket diagram. Its pairings and outcomes are drawn rather than published as data, so no bout, opponent or method is recorded from it.
- The 2 July regulation defines two weight classes by height and mass. The organiser competed and published three, labelled 40KG, 58KG and 80KG. Both are recorded and neither is rewritten into the other.
- The weight range each published class stands for is not printed on the notices.
- 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.
