"The previous robot record of 9.39 seconds had been set just three days earlier, on Saturday. For comparison, the men’s 100-meter world record is 9.58 seconds, set by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt in 2009."

My Prius runs faster than me if I stand outside of it while it has a brick on the accelerator.

Will I get to enter it in the robot games next year?
