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,
* __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:

Hmm. Maybe not appropriate to robots, and we need it in metric units.
I'm thinking more along the lines of:
* __humongous__ (bigger than a person)
* __large__ (up to person-sized)
* __medium__ (maybe cat or dog-sized)
* __small__ (e.g., [KR01])
* __mini__ (under 1kg, powerable using AA batteries or a USB style battery)
* __micro__ (insect-sized)
Any ideas? Suggestions?
