This is a do as you see fit system.  There is no fast rule to 
this.  You could automate a ink quill or a table or a wagon.  So how 
cna one formula define all three things?  Really can't.  It doesn't 
grow or make bigger it just makes them move.  So the quill would 
slither the table would walk o legs and the wagon would roll.  But 
the same factors apply.  In the golem thing they are saying a stone 
golem statue or mayb eyou automate a church gargoyle.  So it would be 
that size.  in this case he'd fly like a gargoyle.
So no size/weight changes here.

The EL only changes factors like armor and hpv and MR and such like 
that. So this is where the EL comes in.
