Nothing changed about SA01 itself — these days are its maker's news:
- 26 Aug Its maker's news lifted the score 1.24 — the board noticed.
One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 12 Sept, taken against 209 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.
