Introduction
Kokadama5 is in the quarterfinal
Kokadama5, the robot of Kokadama — one of Team Georgia's teams — is in the quarterfinal at RoboChallenge 2026! The tense, nerve-racking fights ended in our favour: in Bucharest, Romania, in the 1.36 kg (3 lb) combat robot category, Kokadama5 beat four opponents in a row.
56 robots from 12 countries entered the category. Only eight of them reached the quarterfinal of the second-chance bracket — Georgia's robot among them.
Four wins in a row
Kokadama5 began the championship with a defeat — it lost its first fight to Delta V (Team IDKWID) from the United Kingdom. In this tournament one defeat does not yet mean the end: a robot that loses once goes on fighting in the second-chance bracket and leaves the tournament only after a second defeat.
Kokadama made the most of that chance and beat four opponents on the way to the quarterfinal:
- Princess Megatron 3000 — Arduidiots, Romania;
- Gunter — AR-UPIITA, Mexico;
- O.M. (Overkill Machine) — Gagauzian Project Group, Moldova;
- Taz — TARS UPV, Spain.
