Our current weighing method is to take two students, weigh them on a pair of bathroom scales, then weigh them while they are both holding the robot. Subtract out the student weights and you get the answer +/- 1 lb. If you then rotate the robot 90 degrees and repeat, you could actually figure out the location of the center of gravity of the robot in the horizontal plane. I'm not a fan of turning the robot on its side to get the vertical axis of the CG...
