This page describes some weight categories of robots, to help us describe how big and heavy
a specific robot is.
!! Robot Size
Well, big is pretty easy: just measure it (preferably in metric):
* __X__ (width)
* __Y__ (length)
* __Z__ (height)
!! Robot Weight
As a starting point, here's some weight categories from [boxing|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_class_(boxing)], courtesy Wikipedia:
%%x-small

| Heavyweight |200+ lbs|160+ lbs in 1738 by Broughton's Rules ; 175+ lbs in 1920 by Walker Law; 190+ lbs in 1979 and finally 200+ lbs
| Light heavyweight |168–175 lbs|175 lbs in 1909 by National Sporting Club of London (NSC)

Hmm. Maybe not appropriate to robots, and we need it in metric units.
I'm thinking more along the lines of:
%%small
|| Category || Description
|| Humongous | anything bigger than a person
|| Very Large | up to person-sized
|| Large | sheep-sized
|| Medium | maybe cat or dog-sized
|| Small | e.g., [KR01], maybe chicken-sized
|| Mini | under 1kg, powerable using AA batteries or a USB style battery, guinea pig or hamster-sized
|| Micro | insect-sized
%%
Any ideas? Suggestions?
