Does anybody remember watching that show years back on the Discovery Channel when they found a narrow shaft in one of the pyramids? They made a robot that could crawl through it, after like 300 feet they found a wall that was lowered complete with metal things on it keeping it from being lifted up. The archeologists said they would improve on rover to make it able to break through the wall…that’s all I ever saw on the robot or their efforts. Anybody know if they went through or anything else about this?

(it was a good show, too)
There was something in the news about it within the last month or two, I think they showed it live on Egyptian TV. The robot discovered there was a double door (it drilled a hole to look through), and also discovered that there was another section of the shaft. I’m pretty sure I read about it on the NY Times website.
Fox carried the event live.
They did drill through the door and found another door.
So, they are going back to the drawing board with the vehicle.
