  • Weigh less than 1 lb (16 oz)--Duh
  • Have an easily accessible "switch" that can accessed without taking the robot apart in the event an emergency
  • Have its lithium ion battery enclosed within the robot (aka we shouldn't be able to see it!)
  • Demonstrate control over the robot and its functions and show it stops when disconnected from the controller
