In the RONO-ONE Light 3rd, custom-built UK1 robot could overcome the weight handicap 500g.  Because 2 of 4 robots in semifinal match were custom-built robots and 2 robots in final match were custom-built robots.

The Champion was Hiten (custom-built by Richium-san), the 2nd place was BAUM (custom-built by the University of Electro-Communications Robomecha-Kobo Team), the 3rd place was RFJ1 (TINYWAVE by Robot Factory) and the 4th place was Bamboo (KHR-3HV by Battle Bamboo).  Hiten got the right to join ROBO-ONE 19th.  The result was here.
