RoboScarab - The Next Generation of Robot Pyramid Explorers

RoboScarab LogoThere are currently two* 'explorer robots' active in Egypt: the Japanese robot researching the Osiris Shaft - it got as far as it could though, and a 'snake robot' might be needed to explore further - and the Leeds robot taking a more thorough look at the shafts in the the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Although the 'Leeds robot' just began the actual investigation of the secret doors last week, Dr. Hawass revealed at his lecture that on the 31th of July the Leeds team already had a major breakthrough. But that was all information Dr. Zahi was willing to share (except that they'll be taking a look at the other shafts also). No hint at what kind of 'major breakthrough' this could be, nor did he share any photographs, video or even just 3D sketches of the robot.
