This page describes some weight categories of robots, to help us describe how big and heavy a specific robot is.

Well, big is pretty easy: just measure it,
- X (width)
- Y (length)

Hmm. Maybe not appropriate to robots. 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?
