## Direct answer

Robot Embodied Kombat is a pilot-led humanoid fighting competition using VR and motion capture. It tests an embodied human-machine pair, not autonomous in-ring decision-making.

## Classification

- **Record status**: Active league
- **Entity kind**: sports-league
- **Field role**: core
- **Competition class**: Pilot-led humanoid combat league
- **Control mode**: VR + motion capture
- **Hardware field**: Unitree G1 / H1-2

## History

REK began with shop and city events before expanding its published fight archive across multiple venues. The archive identifies event winners without claiming a universal humanoid title.

## Format

Pilots control humanoid robots inside a live arena through a simulator and motion interface. Public event records name winners, but Project H has not found a complete versioned sporting rulebook.

## Broadcast

The official fights archive is the primary event index. Promotional and documentary video may establish context; it does not supply unpublished scoring mechanics.

## Verification boundary

Control mode and event winners are confirmed by REK-owned pages. Round length, scoring, fouls and appeals remain unverified until a sporting rulebook is published.

## Rules status

**Format confirmed · full rulebook absent.** REK confirms live pilot control through its simulator. Its public Terms page is a service contract, not a sporting rulebook.

- **Control**: VR + motion capture — Human pilot remains in the loop
- **Events**: Official fight archive — Winners published by REK
