The competition rules for MISUMI presents 39th ROBO-ONE, 23rd ROBO-ONE Light, and 8th ROBO-ONE auto, which will be held at the Kanagawa Prefectural Youth Center on September 25, 2021, have been released.
But this tournament will be held only for domestic participants to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.
In addition, the tournament may be changed to a remote one depending on the infection status in Japan. Whether or not to change to a remote tournament will be decided by mid-August.

We would like to inform you about the 8th ROBO-ONE auto and the 5th ROBO-ONE Kendo scheduled to be held in June.

The tournament will be held on-site with no spectators. This time, we will only accept participation from Japan. The number of participants is assumed to be 16 each, and there will be no qualifying on the day. (If there are a large number of participants, the qualifying will be held remotely two weeks in advance.)
However, if a state of emergency is issued, the 8th ROBO-ONE auto will be held at the same time as the ROBO-ONE tournament in September, and the 5th ROBO-ONE Kendo will be held at the same time as the ROBO-Ken in November.

Date and time June 5th 10: 00-17: 00
Place Robot Yuenchi Atsugi Robot Field

We have revised rules to clarify the frequently asked questions at the certification competition held in February.

1. Revision of the rules regarding the declaration of "OOWAZA" in Remote Laws of the Game 5-1.
If the name of the technique is unclear, declare it as "OOWAZA". The judges will judge its effectiveness. If there is no declaration before starting "OOWAZA", it will be judged as not "OOWAZA".

2. Regulation of competition: Addition of commentary on the backdrop of commentary 8.5-5
When robot lifts the opponent and throw it behind and tach to the ring, it is valid if the part above the opponent's fuselage is above the head of your robot and taches to the ring first, and 3 points will be given.

3. Momentary crouching motion refers to the crouching motion when the motion is not stopped. For example, crouching, holding an opponent, moving the centre of gravity, lifting, etc. are included in a momentary crouching motion.

The certification tournament is a local rule, and even if the "OOWAZA technique" is approved here, the judgment may differ from ROBO-ONE. Create "OOWAZA" motion on the assumption that it meets any of the competition rules 8.5.5 (a) to (d).

1). Metallic throw(The throwing technique in which the opponent rotates 180 degrees with the backdrop and attaches to the ring from the body) is one of a shoulder throw.
2). A handstand kick (a technique of standing upside down, kicking the opponent and returning to the original position) is not "OOWAZA" if you are not satisfied with 8.5.5 (a)-(d).
3). "Crab scissors" are effective if the attack is successful during rotation, but it is not effective even if robot pinched and knocked down while lying down after rotating.
