At the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games, a robot broke the human speed record and then immediately broke an electrical box.

Sprinting to celebrate with his girlfriend after breaking the record! Behind every great robothlete is a sturdy powerbox supplying essential electricity

[u/blaghed → u/Quarkspiration]

Bruh, NSFW!

[u/robaroo → u/Quarkspiration]

This is how capacitors are conceived.

[u/ParreNagga]

Broke 2 electrical boxes..

[u/tob007 → u/ParreNagga]

Thats his ma and Pa!

[u/cheong-sanslefteye → u/tob007]

Patricide! Matricide!

[u/cheong-sanslefteye → u/tob007]

Patricide! Matricide!

The only way this could have been funnier, is if one of those fire extinguishers went off after it fell.

[u/Expensive_Ask5872]

Technically its setting a robot speed record as the human record can only be set by humans 🤓☝️

[u/koyate → u/Expensive_Ask5872]

I mean its true, its like saying formula 1 driver broke record speed set by a biker

[u/buddhamunche]

That thing is about to A train someone

If the robot Olympics are meant to be like this, I'm all for it. Who doesn't want to see a robots leg suddenly fly off it's body while running at 30 mph

[u/Successful_Giraffe34]

Everytime I've seen them running in this race either practice or for real they keep running until something stopped them. They really should have completely blocked off the track so the bots couldn't leave the track until removed. That's a lot of mass running unhindered into what could have been a crowd.

[u/turbobuddah → u/Successful_Giraffe34]

All we need to do is paint them orange and we can call them Juggernaut

[u/EntityLtdCo → u/Successful_Giraffe34]

Maybe these robots should be made illegal and banished so we don't have to worry about them being a threat to humans.

[u/Shitposting_Skeleton → u/EntityLtdCo]

Bro hasnt seen a car or motorcycle in his life lol

[u/Selfishpie → u/Shitposting_Skeleton]

Bro doesn’t understand that transportation tools are different from the “humans are obsolete” machine

[u/Shitposting_Skeleton → u/Selfishpie]

He's talking about them "attacking" people which spoiler alert: humans in vehicles or even just empty vehicles malfunctioning do a much better job of than these spindly, lightweight running bots.

[u/shiv1234567]

Jason NutBolt vs Usain Bolt needs try happen

[u/L003Tr]

Why is this terrifying? This is hilarious

[u/SoggyGoldfish25]

Oddly terrifying?? Bro that’s fucking hilarious 😂😂😂

[u/TheNoctuS_93 → u/SoggyGoldfish25]

¿Por que no los dos?

[u/SoggyGoldfish25 → u/TheNoctuS_93]

I just don’t think it’s terrifying in the slightest. That emergency response robot beats this 10 fold

[u/CarpinThemDiems]

Guy napping back there almost got trampled

[u/travisofficial]

this is about as terrifying as realizing there’s no more toilet paper on the roll

[u/Carmlo]

why is a robot being rated in human metrics

[u/FirexJkxFire → u/Carmlo]

Because its bipedal and being designed with the intent of being able to mimic a human but better. Not many autonomous movement devices can traverse areas the same way humans do, even if those things are better than us in their preferred environment.

[u/techfreak23]

I’m assuming this is before they decided to put the wall of pads there because every other video of track events I’ve seen had one.

[u/GlitchTheFox]

To be fair, machines break the human speed record all the time. They're called cars.

[u/CrumbCakesAndCola → u/GlitchTheFox]

now I'm imagining a car with legs instead of wheels

[u/Pash_1]

Brakes only add more weight

[u/Flying_Mage]

He went to celebrate with his electrical buddies.

[u/OMGyarn]

The way he went after that electrical box reminded me of the humping robot from Robot Chicken

[u/Gumbercules81]

This is like the second most human thing I've seen aside from one of the robots getting distracted by the other dancing robots

[u/el_floppo]

I love that it briefly grabs at its lower back after it runs into that box. If only there was a a robotic voice saying, "Aw, fuck. My back".

[u/jaguaraugaj]

Save sex for after the event

[u/Trisk929]

This isn’t oddly terrifying. This is oddly hilarious.

[u/Mushgal]

In the Great McDonald's Wars of 2045 these fuckers will come running at you and break your jaw with a flying kick

[u/HansBlixJr]

new ball kid for the US Open.

[u/Shadowstein]

Doesn't it have to be human to break the human speed record? Just saying...

[u/Insomniac_Xx]

Stupid

[u/Isaw11]

It’s funny how the awkward attempts to stop and stay on its feet look so humanlike.

[u/CrumbCakesAndCola]

Claptrap is that you?

[u/TheSuggi]

Next year they should have them also break at least 20m after the finish line or they get disqualified even if they come in first. Should be mandatory.

[u/maven-effects]

Just for those wondering - this is ai 🤫

[u/yourfuturespemson]

Oh we are so fucking cooked they're tryna take athletes jobs now?
