just a reminder
While I do agree that some of the robots on this thread have received aggressive handling, remember that Fed-EX is donating this service to FIRST. Before everybody starts bashing the shipping companies remember they are providing this for free.
Also, the reason that Rob Gerber had to pay for yellow freight is because Fed-EX does not ship these crates priority. It is free, so it is not on the top of their priority list. We had to do the same thing from VCU to Annapolis.
As for the accuracy of dray age scales-- they are used for everything from computers to 1000 lb. crates. I would not expect the scales to be that accurate.
That being said, just make sure you reinforce your crate very heavily. We have never had any problems and I think that is due to the fact our crate used to ship computer monitors, and is very sturdy. We also tie down everything in at least two points.
Just some thoughts,
