Tiny Robot to Compete in 140-mile Hawaii Ironman Triathlon

CommanderFrank · Sep 18, 2011

Panasonic will be entering the Ironman competition this year in Hawaii. The entry will be in the form of a miniscule robot fitted with three separate body panels to allow the robot to compete. I don’t think Panasonic expects to win, but a finish would be another milestone for the little robot that already has an impressive list of accomplishments under its little plastic belt.

It looks like it would just hit a rock in the road and fall over

I don't see that happening in the 17 hour time limit.

they need to dress the robot in an Energizer Bunny costume. That'd be funny.
