This page describes some __weight classes__ of robots, to help us describe how big and heavy 
a specific robot is. These are NZPRG classes, not based on anyone else's classes, but anyone can use them.


!! Robot Size

Well, how 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:

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%%sup † %% 
|| Small       | e.g., [KR01], maybe chicken-sized%%sup † %%
|| Mini        | e.g., [KC01], under 1.2kg, hamster or guinea pig-sized%%sup ‡ %%
|| Micro       | insect-sized
%%
%%small
%%sup † %%   noting that chickens and dogs vary in size quite a lot. According to [sorrychicken.com|https://sorrychicken.com/how-much-chickens-weigh] the average size of an adult chicken is between 5 and 10 lbs (2.2 to  4.5 kg).\\
%%sup ‡ %%   typically powerable using AA batteries or a USB style battery

Any ideas? Suggestions?
