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, courtesy Wikipedia:

Divisions	Weights	Years establishment
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)

Flyweight	108–112 lbs	112 lbs in 1909 by NSC and standardized in 1920 by Walker Law[10]

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?
