I suspect this says more about the bearings on the car than the robot.

I remember reading the N&W Class J locomotives had such good bearings two men could push them on level track. They weighed 494,000 lb.

Video is at the site (near the end of it).
Looks like they are moving that car.

Well, you got one weighing about 1/3 ounce pulling something almost 100 times heavier straight up a wall.

Doesn’t that count?

The 9g climbing robot can carry over a kilogram vertically up glass. This is equivalent to a human climbing up a skyscraper while carrying an elephant.

Watch the video.

Incredibly cool technology, and all you can do is mumble “hype”.

Don’t you have some kids to shoo off your lawn?

The rolling resistance of rubber tires is somewhere between 8 and 100 times greater than the rolling resistance of steel wheels. It’s equivalent of at least a 2% grade. This is more than hype.
