Following last week’s robotic crash and burn that made us all feel a little more comfortable with the state of robotics, that comfort was quickly dashed(!) when a competitor in the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games beat Usain Bolt’s 100m sprint time. Usain set the human world record in 2009

This is a video from Beijing of a little humanoid robot practicing for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games (aka robot Olympics, starting August 22nd) when it crashes hard into a padded wall, falls, doubles over backwards, and shoots sparks from the abdomen. And not in a sexy way like

Note: None of the 100 screenshots I took do the performance justice, you just have to watch. This is a video of Japanese world yo-yo champion Hajime Miura competing in the 3A division of the World Yo-Yo Contest. The 3A division, which Hajime has won 8 times prior, is for

It did not. The nutputer (he calls it a NutPad) features an ultra-tiny display, 5-button keyboard, and USB-C

Because those fast food calories aren’t going to burn themselves, this is a video of strongman Jaden Tyson Laing carrying a stripped (but still 800-pound) car through a McDonald’s drive-thru. His order? Just a single cheeseburger. Come on, Jaden, you’re carrying a car, surely you can get more than just

In news that’s sure to excite any Transformer out there hoping to start a band (I’m looking at you, Soundwave) Youtuber Mattias Krantz went and built a custom ukulele that can instantly transform into an electric guitar mid-performance.
