There were 1,040 robots in total, each 43.8 centimetres high, and 1,007 of them finished the challenge. The ones that fell or stopped before the one minute mark were not counted in the World Record.

Quan Jinyou, the chief technology officer of Qingdao-based Ever Win Company, Ltd., the company which produced the robots, told Chinese news agency Xinhua that the biggest challenge was dealing with radio frequency interference, from mobile phones or Bluetooth devices.
