If you were referring to only one tote, then I would definitely not say that it weighs the same as a tetra. Maybe for better clarity, you can give approximate weight and volume as a number instead of a category. Just a suggestion
Size was in comparison to that year's average robot size, and other years' pieces. Size refers to one game piece.

I wasn't sure, as I haven't seen those game pieces in real life(yet). I'll make a new version with these changes, but I'll probably wait for more. From the 2009 animation, the pieces looked small because the human players were throwing them with one hand.

I know those had some quality issues...
