Right after hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in London, the United Kingdom is holding another competition, this one without people. Bristol is holding the FIRA RoboWorld Cup. Robots are currently competing in sports like soccer, sprinting, basketball and weightlifting! If you ever wondered what robots use as dumbbells, its DVDs, with the current robot world record of lifting 89 DVDs at once.
