Remember, your target weight should be something less than 130 anyway. Leave yourself at least a pound of margin to take the differences in scales into account. You can always add a little weight if the scale will let you get away with it, it's a lot harder to take it off.

We actually had been at I believe 128.7 at our first regional. We used the remainder of the weight limit to add weights near the front of our robot, since our robot was top heavy and could easily tip. If we needed to, we easily could have taken these weights off. It was just nicer to leave them on and weigh 130.0 lbs.
