What's next, the Isle of Man TT for Robots?

After scaling the cliff walls of the Grand Canyon and driving the Le Mans racetrack for 24 hours, a tiny Japanese robot is set for a new challenge - Hawaii's grueling Ironman Triathlon course. Fitted with three different bodies and three rechargeable batteries, the hand-sized "Evolta" from electronics firm Panasonic will swim, bicycle and run its way through one of the world's toughest triathlon routes. Maybe if those guys think their robot is so tough, maybe it should take on the most dangerous motorbike race known to man. That's right, the robot should have a go on the Snaefell Mountain Course, which is the racetrack used for the Isle of Man TT. Maybe then the robot will gain some respect.
