AI Miyagi Wants to Put Combat Robots Through Their Belts

aimiyagi.com Observed source

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A proposed Miami competition league where autonomous combat robots train in virtual-reality scenarios, qualify through belt levels, and enter seeded arena brackets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The proposed qualification path begins with a registered fighter, a documented hardware and autonomy setup, and virtual-reality kata against escalating opposition. The belt system has five tiers: green unlocks season-bracket entry, brown qualifies a machine for the main pool, and black requires a live-arena win rather than simulation performance. The page also describes a public record of failures, breakages, and victories, positioning competition data as part of the training loop.
