# Ultimate Robot Knock-out Legend - Canonical: https://robot-fighting-championship.com/leagues/urkl - Record family: leagues - Stable ID: urkl - Data snapshot: 2026-08-02T00:00:00Z - Data source: fixture ## Direct answer URKL is EngineAI’s autonomous humanoid combat league. Its competitive proposition is software-led decision-making on a standardised T800 platform, not remote piloting. ## Classification - **Record status**: Active league - **Entity kind**: sports-league - **Field role**: core - **Competition class**: Full-size autonomous humanoid combat league - **Control mode**: Full AI autonomy - **Hardware field**: EngineAI T800 ## History EngineAI announced the competition in 2026 after using the Mecha King name for its earlier free-combat programme. Project H keeps those identities separate so the predecessor does not inherit URKL results. ## Format The audited V1.0.0 record describes qualification, a physical play-in and bracket competition. The Shenzhen gala is retained as an exhibition result rather than silently treated as a tournament round. ## Broadcast EngineAI publishes owned fight footage and event highlights through its official video channels. Audience claims remain separate from measured channel and video snapshots. ## Verification boundary The competition identity, control boundary, T800 platform and archived rules are primary-source backed. Future dates and the live V2.0.0 rules require separate verification. ## Rules status **Archived V1.0.0 translated.** A source-bound English synthesis covers scoring, a ten-second knockout count, two-reset limit, eight-metre circle and the taunt bonus. The live page now identifies V2.0.0, so versions are not merged. - **Knockout**: 10 seconds — Unable to stand unaided - **Manual resets**: Maximum 2 — Archived V1.0.0 bout contract - **Play-in**: 120 points — 100 base + 20 force bonus ## Evidence claims - season_views_72h: 320000000 views — contested;
