Robots set new Guinness World Record
These are just a few of the 1,007 robots that
recently set a new Guinness World Record by
dancing in unison for 60 seconds. The record
attempt was staged as part of China’s Quingdao
Beer Festival by Chinese battery manufacturer Ever
Win. The robots, which stand 43.8cm tall, were
reportedly controlled from a single smartphone.
Even though 33 of the robots keeled over during the
attempt, those remaining were more than enough
to smash the previous world record of 450 dancing
robots, which was set by UBTECH Robotics Corp at
the CCTV Spring Festival Gala back in January.
