How big are the robots?
Combat robots come in a huge range of sizes ranging from 150 g to 390 lbs. The robots you saw on TV were most likely in the 220 lb class and were about 3 foot squares on average, with larger robots also being common. The cameras on many TV shows were raised high to avoid damage, but this also made the robots appear much smaller than they actually are.

What are “robots”, “spiders” and “crawlers”?
These are little programmes used by search engines to look at the content of your site, these are the indexing tools of SE’s.
