Re: Robot Scale

It can be very useful to have 4 scales, one for each corner of the robot. This allows you to determine how your center of gravity is located on the robot, which can affect how it drives and turns (especially if you ever use mecanum wheels).

The Simley pre-ship scrimmage always has a very nice 4-point scale at it - it might be worth contacting them to see where they got their scale.
