What it does

Imagine WWE SmackDown, but with cute, AI-trained robots. Eight teams spend days training reinforcement-learning policies for Pollen’s open-source MicroDuck, then we throw them in the simulator to fight for the Golden Beak Belt. The whole competition will be livestreamed. The catch: you’re not building a robot, you’re training its brain. Want in? Register a team, train your policy, or host a showdown in your city. When the real MicroDucks ship, we go IRL.

Reinforcement learning drills ring control, pushing, dodging, recovery. Clip via @jpgallegoar on X → Best of 3 in the simulator. Last duck standing takes the Golden Beak Belt. A tighter card keeps the stream moving: four quarterfinals, two semifinals, and one final. Every team starts on equal footing. The ring is a plain circle with a hard, high-contrast edge. Same spawn spots and the same physics every match, plus room on the boards for sponsors. Every fight runs in the MicroDuck simulator, not with physical robots. Each bout is…from duckfight.club
