Yeah, while there’s surely some engineering that went into this, it’s not exactly impressive to watch a machine designed to do one thing and only one thing successfully do the thing it was designed to do. This isn’t a general purpose humanoid robot displaying adaptability and what we might call skill, this is… a machine for making baskets. On sticks. Sticks with wheels.

Add to it that this is a Guinness world record, so they just shelled out for the publicity and thats literally all they had to do (there’s no competition, Guinness will award them a [carefully phrased] world record no matter what), and its hard to get hyped about it.
