1007 Chinese robots dance together to set a Guinness World Record

A team of 1,007 robots performed a synchronized dance routine in China and entered the Guinness World Record for 'most robots dancing simultaneously.' The Guinness World Record was confirmed by adjudicator, Ms Angela Wu, as well as a technology expert from the Robots Association.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk darted 8 August 2016.

The robots took to the stage at the Qingdao Beer Festival in Shandong, China. Each of them measured just 43.8 centimetres (19 inches) tall and was controlled from just one mobile phone. To earn the Guinness World Record, the robots had to dance for a full minute. However, while 1,040 started the dance, some were disqualified because they either did not dance, or fell over mid-way through the dance. That is how the figure of 1007 was arrived at - these 1,007 robots completed the minute long routine successfully and in perfect unison.
The previous world record was 540 dancing robots. This had been achieved in February this year by Ubtech Robotics Corp. The new record was organized by Ever Win Company.
