    Default Mini Robot scaled Grand Canyon!

    The robot finally made it to the top on its sixth attempt.

    Japan, which produces batteries powering everything from toys to cars in a $50 billion (£25bn) global energy storage industry, now holds the Guinness title for the longest-lasting AA cell with Panasonic's new Evolta batteries
    I want one!! They must be pretty good batteries then, it doesn't even say that the batteries ran out. Must've been quite boring for the people watching it.. 7hours :rolleyes:

    edit: its actually 6hours 45minutes.
