Evolta Bot Attempts New World Record
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 22 of July , 2009 at 3:49 am
The little plastic robot who climbed the Grand Canyon on a pair of Panasonic Evolta AA batteries has set its sights on a new world record: the longest distance traveled by a radio controlled car on (I assume) one set of AA batteries. The Evolta robot has been totally redesigned for this, complete with a little tricycle thing that homes in on an infrared remote. While the record is more or less entirely pointless, the robot is cute enough, and it does make me want my next set of disposable AA batteries to be Evoltas… Too bad I only use rechargeables.
If you want some Evoltas to test out on your robot, you can find them on Amazon.

Engadget got it from me. Would be nice if they mentioned it rather than hiding it in their little “read” link, and if you could point to my site, too. :)
