URKL publishes scoring rules for its 32-to-16 qualifier

URKL’s qualifier scoring rules

EngineAI’s published rulebook describes an in-person qualifier that cuts 32 teams to 16. Teams are divided into four groups, with the top four from each group advancing. The rulebook scores the stage out of 100 base points plus up to 20 bonus points. Whether the qualifier has been played, or whether these exact rules were used, is unconfirmed.

Each team gets one official attempt at three demonstrations: fall recovery, locomotion and mimicked movements. Fall recovery is worth 30 points, locomotion 30 and basic mimic ability 40. The bonus comes from punching and kicking force tests, worth up to 10 points each.

Booster T1 has appeared alongside Unitree G1s in UFB

Ultimate Bots used Booster T1 robots alongside Unitree G1s in Season 1, according to the league material described in earlier Roboxing reporting. UFB’s Season 2 page names league-assigned G1s for its four permanent teams but does not mention the T1, and does not say whether one will appear in a Season 2 fight.

A specification sheet hosted by the RoboCup Humanoid League lists the T1 at 1.18 metres tall and about 30 kilograms, with 23 active degrees of freedom. It describes the robot as a development platform for research and competitions such as robot football. Booster’s home page highlights its T2 and K1, while Roboxing says it has not found a price published by Booster.

UFB lists 24 notable pilots on its home page as it heads toward its Season 2 opener.

UFB’s home page lists 24 “notable pilots,” including Michael Reeves, NileRed, Hbomberguy and Slimecicle. It also features a video titled “20+ YouTubers vs Humanoid Robots in the Arena.” UFB does not say whether any of the named people will fight at TwitchCon San Diego, or which team they might represent.

UFB lists TwitchCon San Diego, November 13 to 15, 2026, as its next event. Its page says streams are on Twitch at ufb0ts and YouTube at @UFBots, but does not publish a start time, card or stream schedule.
