Evolta robot

In January 2008, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. unveiled Takahashi's 4.5oz., 6.7in. robot mascot for the Evolta line of alkaline batteries.citeweb|url=http://gizmodo.com/345720/panasonics-evoltas-earn-guinness-record-for-battery-life/|title=Panasonic's Evoltas Earn Guinness Record For Battery Life|date=2008-01-16|accessdate=2008-06-07|publisher=Gizmodo] The Evolta robot attempted to climb a rope from the bottom to the top of the Grand Canyon. The first try, on May 22 2008, Evolta's foot was malfunctioning and was not able to climb up any higher. The second try, on May 23, it stopped at around 100 meters due to rough weather including hail. Then on the third try, on May 24, Evolta managed to climb up all the way reaching 530 meters in 6 hours 46 minutes, using only a pair of AA alkaline Evolta batteries.
