Robots are officially entering the running chat: 12,000 humans take on 100+ humanoid robots in a Beijing half-marathon, and the winning bot clocks 50 minutes… beating the world record (but not being allowed to claim it). Dave and Fionnuala are both fascinated and mildly terrified.

Because if robots are getting this good, there’s only one move left: get ourselves a Guinness World Record before they’re eligible and we’re finished. What records should the pair take on?
