Tricycling Robot Goes for Guinness Record

Sports cars have long tested their 24-hour endurance on the Le Mans racing circuit in France. Now a Panasonic robot named Mr. Evolta will try to claim the distance record for a remote-controlled car, pedaling along furiously at 1.3 kilometers per hour (0.8 mph), powered by two AA Evolta batteries. The batteries have a greater capacity than other alkaline cells, according to Panasonic, thanks partly to a thinner battery wall and smaller internal features so more of the battery’s volume can be used for the active ingredients.
