Melbourne robot rockers cybernetically smash world record

Everybody loves a good robot, especially dance fans. The cyborg has held a hallowed place in our hearts since we were cutting it up with jerky dance moves to old-school ‘80s electro, and the vocoder robot voices have stuck around in our dance tunes ever since, peaking when Daft Punk built their magical pyramid and blasted us with their own brand of robot rock. Well, a group of 351 robot rockin’ students at Melbourne University decided it was time to take things a step further when they attempted to smash to smithereens the Guinness World Record for robot dancing.

Arna ‘Robotgirl’ Singleton led the charge as the hundreds of robot rockers broke shit down, keeping time for the required five minutes, jerking along to ‘80s electro anthems as they wrought intense cybernetic destruction on the old record of 75 dancers. A mere 75 dancers? Pitiful humans, feel the wrath of Melbourne University!

Herald Sun reports that the crowd included a large contingent of engineering students (of course), as well as a sizable assortment of crazy cybernetic costumes that included a Star Wars storm trooper, clunky looking machines with tin foil with crates for heads, as well as a student dressed as a pirate (editor’s note: robotic overlords do not approve of inconsistency with overall theme).

Keep robot rocking forever, we say. Check out the footage below of the robot rockin’ Guinness World record smash!

ITM reckons the next logical step for Melbourne University is to have REAL robots setting the next record, before unleashing them on the streets…where they may or may not wreak mayhem and destruction upon the population before Will Smith comes in and kills ‘em all.

Nobody has hearted this, be the first Be the first!

Blue tracksuit girl is the worst robot dancer in the history of anything. She should kill herself immediately.
