The rest of the class
4–25 of 66
The class is launch year 2025 or later — and newness is the door, not the score. Inside the arena, robots are ranked exactly as they are on the main standing. Winning here means being the best-evidenced of the new generation, not merely the newest.
A robot with no recorded launch year is not in this class. An unknown year cannot convict a robot of being old on the main standing, and it cannot claim newness here. Absence of data never renders as a verdict — in either direction.
Momentum belongs to the maker, not the robot. It is labelled that way in the table, and it reads as an em dash where we have no news signal at all — never as a zero.
