I admit this is not really helpful, but i dont think there really is an average size.

There are some very small feathers which you can hold just using your wrist, then there are some feathers you can just about get under your arm. One of mine for example is nearly as big as my heavyweight Dystopia



Really what it all comes down to is what its made of, and whats inside it.

If its a flipper with a Full pressure system, its going to be smaller than a rambot. Simply because the rambot can use the systems weight to add size.

Similarly if you make one robot out of plastic, and another out of steel. Then if they are the same weight then normally the plastic ones bigger than the steel one.

Best thing to do, is get your components and weight them. Then choose your material, and you should then be able to calculate the maximum volume that robot can take up. Make sure you can fit everything inside that volume, and bingo.

Others can tell you a size to aim for (as i say mines massive), but if you give us an idea what material you want to use then im sure people could tell you a good size
