Nothing changed about this robot itself — what you can see is the field shifting around it, or its maker's news rising and ageing.
One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 13 Oct, taken against 103 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.
