Re: Robot Scale

I bought several of the 400 lb postage scale from amazon listed above and gave them to teams throughout Michigan. I also checked against cal weights and they were within 0.1 lbs at 100 lbs.

Re: Robot Scale

We have a team member who weighs almost exactly 120 pounds, so we use a large board and a piece of plywood to make a balance.

We have this model:

We have been using it for two seasons without any problems and it has a 400 pound capacity making it useful for weighing items heavier than robots... :D

It also came inside a nice cardboard box with foam inserts making it easy to store the other 360 days of the year we don't use it.

+1 for this one--it's what Garnet Squadron uses. No complaints! :)

Re: Robot Scale

We have a rather nice electronic package scale when we're just interested in weight. When we want to find CoG, we pull out four spring "fish scales" and hang one corner of the robot from each of them. We even have some stands that were modified from turkey fryer hooks from which we can hang the spring scales.

Agreed. Not only do we borrow bits of gear from the other teams at the school, but we have helped some with their equipment. For the flag team, a few of our members helped with the design and construction of decorative lighting on the leaders' batons.
