Watch the tiny team of six 'antbots' that can work together to move a CAR

These tiny machines just proved size doesn't matter. A team of six robots weighing a total of 3.5 ounces, demonstrated they have enough pulling power to move a 3,900 pound car and driver at 20x speed Inspired by ants, the'microTugs' synchronize their movements and harness coordination to pull over 2,000 times their own body weight.

Twenty robots only apply two times the forces of a single robot.
