TL;DR
- The California State Athletic Commission sent a cease-and-desist letter to the startup Rek.
- Rek hosted a fight between a human and a remotely piloted humanoid robot on September 18th.
- The commission deemed the fight 'unsanctioned' and demanded Rek stop holding, promoting, or advertising any contests involving humans in California without approval.
- Rek's next planned match will feature two robots fighting each other with weapons.
