Remember back in July when we brought you footage of a Japanese hobbyist's robot gymnast nailing a quadruple backflip? That was cool. But this is even cooler.
Our robot gymnast returns in a new video uploaded to YouTube this week -- but this time, it has an even more jaw-dropping trick.

As you'll see in the video, above, the robot gymnast hits a nearly perfect triple backflip. But that's after it nails a release, momentarily letting go of its makeshift high bar, only to grab back on, and regain momentum.
In conclusion: Humans had a good run. Get a sneak peek at our new sporting overlords; then let us know what you think in the comments.
