'The House by the Window' Retrospective — Every Weekend This Month
Ahead of next year's 50th anniversary broadcast. TCT.
Entries for Kikousai, the annual Kiko Run (human-and-robot pair race) held in October in Kyobashi, passed 200 teams on the 19th. Registration only opened on the 13th, as previously reported, and the organizing committee said, 'Even accounting for the early pace, this is fast.' Two university robotics clubs are entering for the first time this year, while Tokiwado aims for a fourth consecutive appearance with a team that includes one of its custody robots.
In Round 22, the wall-racing league's title-deciding final, leaders Tokei RC and second-place Naniwa WC — level on 44 points — fought for the championship at two separate venues on the night of the 18th. Tokei RC beat Hokuto 8 tiers, 1 link to 5 tiers, 3 links at home at Kameido Second Wall, taking their points to 47, while Naniwa WC lost 5 tiers, 4 links to 6 tiers, 3 links away at Horikawa Wall to Owari — enough to seal Tokei RC's championship. Tokei RC's Rui Migiwajima, 17, reached a personal-best Tier 11 late in the match.
