These abilities were tested in three events: a two-millimeter dash in which each nanobot competed for the best time in a sprint across the playing field; a slalom drill where the path between goals was blocked by defenders--in this case, polymer posts; and a ball-handling drill that requires robots to dribble as many nanoballs--or microdisks--as possible into the goal, according to a NIST spokesman.
