I'm not too sure about creating any motor limitation at all. Since motors are
usually pretty heavy objects (for LEGO), as a person incorporates more of them,
they would be forced to make comprimises in other areas of the robot. I'm not too
sure about the weight figures mentioned... they may be a bit on the heavy side.
It would take some experimentation to find out what categories really work best.
