Panasonic Evolta Robot Climbs Grand Canyon On 2 AA Batteries

This spunky little robodude is a Panasonic Evolta promotional mascot. He’s 17 centimeters tall and weighs 130 grams, and his reason for existing is summed up nicely in this picture… The two batteries on his back (Panasonic Evolta batteries, of course) were enough to power him up 1700 feet of vertical rope dangling over a cliff into the Grand Canyon. It only took him about 7 hours, which I guess is pretty quick for such a little guy. The Evolta batteries have been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest lasting AAs anywhere ever, which is good to know, but you can’t actually GET them outside of Japan yet.
