The little robot 'Evolt' attempt with three batteries hard to complete the triathlon 'Ironman'

Hawaii triathlon is considered one of the toughest in the world

After climbing the Grand Canyon and driving in the Le Mans 24 hours, a small Japanese robot prepares for a new challenge: the challenging triathlon 'Ironman' of Hawaii.



Wearing three shells and three rechargeable batteries, the robot 'Evolt' electronics company Panasonic swim, cycle and run one of the routes of the world's toughest triathlon, the company announced Thursday.

"This is very hard even for an athlete, but I think it's worth the challenge," said Tomotaka Takahashi, who created the green and white robot, looking like a toy.

"The robot will encounter many adversities in his way, but I hope the end overcomes all and succeed," he said.

The robot will have swimming, running and cycling in a total of 230 kilometers. The time taken to complete the challenge is a week or 168 hours, which is 10 times what it would cost an athlete.

"The Evolt height is one tenth that of an adult male, so we figured it will take 10 times longer," said Takahashi.

With three covers, including one mounted on a small bicycle and another stuck in a wheel with a wheel support, the robot swimmer, 51 inches, is one that is particularly challenging.

"I had to think of ways it was waterproof and protect it from rust as possible," said Takahashi.

The batteries carries the robot in the back, which goes on sale in Japan on October 21, can be recharged up to 1,800 times with a charger.

The challenge of the triathlon begins October 24 and will continue non-stop for seven days and seven nights. The real Ironman is held in early October.
