LVL1 as an organization has talked a lot about competing and winning an award in the Guinness Book of World Records. According to their website, "The Guinness World Records is the official book keepers of the ultimate record-breaking facts & achievements". Though at this time we are unsure of what event we would compete in we have compiled a list of current records which we think we can potentially beat and are using this wiki to develop an ongoing list of potential new categories or idea's.
