Panasonic’s Evolta Robot, on October 23rd, will have one week to complete a 230 km Iron Man Triathlon in the beautiful state of Hawaii.  The Evolta has, in past years, climbed the Grand Canyon, walked from Tokyo to Kyoto, and made me delicious waffles.  Okay – the last one was my mom.  MA!  GIMME MORE SYRUP IN THE SQUIRTLE GLASS!  *Scarfs down some dry waffles*  Never mind, I’m done.  I’ll be in the basement if you need me, I left my PayPerView bill on the counter.  ”How about you get a real job?!”  Thanks mom!  *Runs downstairs to play WOW*

 

 

The Evolta Robot, powered by three Panasonic Evolta batteries, stands only 7 inches tall, but really packs a punch!  I learned not to judge peoples’ punching abilities by their size after Yoda broke my nose.  Also, after Yoda broke the noses of several Great America workers before being hauled off by security.  ”Sir, you need to be 54 inches tall to ride Superman.”  ”JUDGE ME BY MY SIZE, DO YOU?”  *CRACK!*

I have so much respect for the Panasonic Evolta – that thing is going to go 230 kilometers!  (For ignorant Americans like me: 140.2 miles.)  I remember my buddy who didn’t finish the mile in his freshman year of high school.  Me?  I got 16:42.  *Jumps up and shakes flabby biceps in victory*

Via:  Cnet, who finished the mile in 5:15, and stole my girlfriend.  Just kidding – I never had one to begin with.
