2009 game piece was about the same size as 2016. I would not call it XS.

In that case the S does not stand for small. It stands for a word I'm not allowed to put on here.

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...

Wouldn't 06, 12 and 16 be Foam not NONE, I know you call them a foam ball later on but you define none as meaning empty/hollow and those were definitely not hollow

Good point. Is the foam solid though, or does it let air through?
