Four days before its Season 2 opener, Ultimate Bots' home page puts online creators at the front of its pitch. Read on 9 November 2026, the page carries a "notable pilots" strip naming 24 people, each with a one-line descriptor, and a featured video titled "20+ YouTubers vs Humanoid Robots in the Arena".
WHO THE PAGE NAMES
The descriptors are UFB's own. Michael Reeves (chaos engineer), William Osman (engineering comedy), The Backyard Scientist (science experiments), Allen Pan (inventor and YouTuber), Emily the Engineer (engineering builds), PointCrow (gaming creator), ConnorEatsPants (streamer), Slimecicle (comedy streamer), Ted Nivison (comedy creator), NileRed (chemistry, but interesting), Styropyro (laser experiments), Estefannie (engineer and maker), Atarabyte (electronics and DIY), codeMiko (virtual streamer), Tech Joyce (comedy tech), Kiara's Workshop (props and builds), Aaed Musa (robotics builder), Hbomberguy (video essayist), Action Lab (science demos), Odd Jayy (companion robots), Tylon22 (MIT roboticist), Juniper (dev and maker), Jem Little (maker) and Sam Meeps (maker and creator). Master Ken (martial arts comedy) is listed separately as the MC.
THE VIDEO
The featured clip on UFB's YouTube channel is titled "20+ YouTubers Fight Robots in a Cage (ft. NileRed, Hbomberguy, Slimecicle)". Roboxing has verified the title and the channel through YouTube's oEmbed service. We could not read its upload date or description, so we do not say when it was filmed or what format it followed. The three names in the title are all on the home page's list.
WHAT THE PAGE DOES NOT SAY
The page calls these people "notable pilots". It does not say that any of them will compete on 13 to 15 November at TwitchCon San Diego, which team they belong to, or how they were selected. UFB's join panel separately says it is drafting pilots and "ghosts" (engineers who build the physical-AI stack) for Season 2, with four permanent teams, a $100,000 season prize pool across the season and a league-assigned Unitree G1 for every team. Whether the named creators are those team pilots, guest pilots from earlier events, or simply the people who took part in the video is not stated.
WHERE THE OPENER STANDS
The page lists TwitchCon San Diego, 13 to 15 November 2026, as the next event and says tickets are on sale for two upcoming events (the other is IEEE Humanoids in Santa Clara, 7 to 9 December, per UFB's schedule page). No start time, card or stream schedule is published on the page. Streams are on Twitch (ufb0ts) and YouTube (@UFBots), according to UFB.
Roboxing will update this record if UFB publishes a card or team rosters.
