On November 2, 2026, the first CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition officially started with the sounding of the horn, as humanoid robots and robot dogs raced each other on narrow stone steps and steep mountain paths. According to Sina Tech, after contestant No. 2 overtook the lead, contestant No. 3 accidentally fell while urgently accelerating. X.PIN reported that the participating robots had to climb 3,100 ancient stone steps and ascend 1,968 feet, and the livestream also featured scenes such as wheel-legged robots transporting watermelons and raw eggs, multiple robots moving faster than reporters on the steps, and fallen robots being penalized. The event concluded the same day, and Sina Tech reported that the Beijing Lingyi Technology team, using a Unitree A2 robot dog, won the legged robot racing championship with an actual time of 41 minutes 41 seconds (43 minutes 41 seconds after a 2-minute time penalty), using fully autonomous mode throughout; the Shanghai Gaoyi Technology team took two runner-up places, with the Unitree B2 winning second place in the load-bearing race on the Wanxian Tower–Doumu Palace section with an effective payload of 66 kg and 74 kg including the rack. The course runs from Hongmen to Zhongtianmen, covering a total distance of 3.9 kilometers and more than 3,100 steps.

Unitree Robot Dog A2 Wins Mount Tai Championship: 1 Gold and 2 Silvers at the First CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition
The A2 robot dog of Beijing Lingyi Technology Team, under Unitree Technology, competed in the first CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition in fully autonomous mode, with an actual time of 41 minutes and 41 seconds (final result 43 minutes and 41 seconds, with a 2-minute penalty), winning the championship in the legged robot racing event. The A2 and B2 of Shanghai Gaoyi Technology Team won second place in the legged robot racing event and the load-bearing event, respectively. Due to time and resource constraints, Unitree officially only sent two quadruped robots, the A2 and B2, to compete, and did not send any humanoid robots; the widely followed G1 robot's withdrawal was due to developers entering the competition on their own.
