Grain-sized Robots Play Football

The RoboCup Soccer Competition has a new category — nanobots.
Each smaller than a grain of salt but no less able than their normal-sized counterparts, the football-kicking nanorobots will compete in three events: the 2-millimeter Dash, the Slalom Drill, and the Ball-handling Drill. They are controlled remotely and use magnetic fields or electrical impulses sent across the floor of the arena to power themselves up.
The video below shows a bot from University of Zurich’s Team IRIS.
