Japan robot scales Grand Canyon
June 12th, 2008 Posted in Technology
The machines continued their slow climb to total world domination and human annihilation last week when one of their own managed to scale the Grand Canyon in 7 hours powered by two AA batteries. Meanwhile, work continues on the robot-proof bomb shelter under my house.
June 2 – It may be a Great Wonder of the World, but the Grand Canyon could not stop a determined 17-cm robot and a pair of AA batteries.
After a few returns to base camp, a carbon-plastic robot powered by Panasonic’s Evolta batteries made the 530-m rope climb in under seven hours.
