The top of the main body 21 is provided with a contour head 26, on which a first receiver 27 is mounted. The first receiver 27 receives strikes from the striker 25 and generates a strike feedback signal.
[0030] The launch tower 3 includes a launch tower base 31, a tower cap 32 is provided on the top of the launch tower base 31, and a second receiver 33 is installed inside the tower cap 32. The second receiver 33 is used to receive the impact of the striker 25 and generate an impact feedback signal.
[0031] The receiving tower 4 includes a receiving tower base 41, and a tower platform 42 is provided on the top of the receiving tower base 41. The tower platform 42 is driven by a power mechanism and can rotate relative to the receiving tower base 41. A third receiver 43 is installed inside the receiving tower base 41. The third receiver 43 is used to receive the impact of the impactor 25 and generate an impact feedback signal.
[0032] The referee terminal 1 includes a panel 11, on which a timing screen 12, a score screen 13, a timer 14, a start / stop device 15, and a reset device 16 are installed and connected to the main control system; the main control system also exchanges data with the control module via radio.
[0033] In one embodiment, the striker 25 is a permanent magnet.
[0034] In one embodiment: the first receiver 27, the second receiver 33, and the third receiver 43 are all magnetic switches.
[0035] In one embodiment, the launch tower 3 is also equipped with a first attack status light 34, a first power light 35 and a first buzzer 36 connected to its internal control module.
[0036] In one embodiment: the receiving tower 4 is also equipped with a second attack status light 44, a second power light 45, a second buzzer 46 and an energy display light 47 connected to its internal control module.
[0037] In one embodiment: the profiling head 26 has a hollow interior with a first mounting cavity, and the first receiver 27 is installed in the first mounting cavity.
[0038] In one embodiment: the tower cap 32 is hollow inside and has a second mounting cavity, and the second receiver 33 is installed in the second mounting cavity.

[0040] In one embodiment, the power mechanism is a servo motor.
[0041] Working Principle: This robot fighting competition system mainly consists of Group A mechanisms, Group B mechanisms, and a referee terminal. Group A and Group B mechanisms represent the two opposing sides in the battle, and each group includes:
[0042] 1. Mobile Robot 2: Each mobile robot includes a main body 21 and four pulleys 22 driven by individual motors 23 at the bottom. The mobile robot has a control module inside that is connected to the remote control in the contestant's hand. The contestant operates the remote control to control the movement of the robot.
[0043] The main body 21 has protruding arms 24 on both sides, and striking devices 25 are installed on the protruding arms. The protruding arms are multi-segmented moving arms that can rotate and perform corresponding chopping and striking actions under the operation of the athlete. When the striking device 25 on the protruding arm comes into contact with the receiver, a striking feedback signal is generated.
[0044] The main body 21 has a top-mounted copying head 26, on which a first receiver 27 is mounted to receive strikes from the impactor 25 and generate a strike feedback signal. When the impactor on the opponent's mobile robot hits the first receiver 27 on its head, a score is determined, and the struck robot stops its movement for a corresponding period of time. At this time, the other robot can still move and attack the launch tower accordingly.
[0045] 2. Launch Tower 3: The launch tower includes a launch tower base 31 and a top cap 32, inside which a second receiver 33 is installed. When the striker 25 hits the cap, the second receiver 33 generates a strike feedback signal.
[0046] The transmission tower is also equipped with a first attack status light 34, a first power light 35, and a first buzzer 36, all connected to its internal control module, to indicate the tower's operational status. When the transmission tower is successfully attacked, it sends a control signal to the receiving tower.
[0047] 3. Receiver Tower 4: The receiver tower includes a receiver tower base 41 and a rotatable tower platform 42. The tower platform is driven by a power mechanism such as a servo motor and can rotate relative to the receiver tower base 41. When the transmitter tower is successfully attacked, the control module inside the receiver tower receives a control signal and drives the tower platform on top of the receiver tower to rotate via the servo motor. This causes the third receiver 43 installed inside the receiver tower platform to move, increasing the difficulty of being attacked. If the third receiver 43 is also successfully attacked within a set time, it indicates that the current player has lost the game, and the score is fed back to the referee terminal accordingly.
[0048] To display the status more intuitively, the receiving tower is equipped with a second attack status light 44, a second power light 45, a second buzzer 46, and an energy display light 47, which are connected to its internal control module, to show the working status and energy status of the receiving tower.
[0049] 4. Referee Terminal 1: The referee terminal includes a panel 11, on which are mounted a timing screen 12, a score screen 13, a timer 14, a start / stop device 15, and a reset device 16. These components are connected to the main control system. The main control system exchanges data with the control module via radio, receives hit feedback signals from each receiver in real time, automatically updates the score on the score screen based on the signals, and automatically controls the start and stop of the match timer.
[0050] Compared with traditional technologies, this system detects the impact feedback signals in real time through various receivers and automatically updates the score screen on the referee's terminal. No manual operation is required, which effectively avoids errors in manual scoring and improves the fairness and accuracy of the competition.
[0051] Meanwhile, upon receiving a hit feedback signal, the referee's terminal can automatically pause the match timer without requiring manual intervention from the referee. This automated control not only simplifies the referee's operating procedures but also greatly improves the accuracy of match timing, ensuring the accurate recording of match time.
[0052] Meanwhile, the referee terminal's timing screen, score screen, and status indicator lights display the match time, score, and equipment status in real time, ensuring that match information is transparent and open, making the match process more intuitive and fair.
[0053] In summary, this system significantly improves the fairness, accuracy, and entertainment value of robot fighting competitions through its advantages such as automated scoring and timing, real-time feedback display, precise strike detection, and modular design. It also provides strong technical support for maker education activities in primary and secondary schools.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
