Re: Robot Scale Recommendation?
We used to use a scale that was used to weigh soldiers, to make sure they were within army specifications...so we figured it was accurate, and it always agreed with the FIRST scale within a pound. We did have to put 2x4s across it and zero it before weighing the robot.
Since then we've made seriously underweight robots, and haven't worried about it too much. Just use a bathroom scale to make sure the robot is under 100 lbs when it's near the end of build, and we're fine.
Hopefully someone will have a useful answer for you!
I think we borrowed the wrestling scale once, after we moved our build space from Ft Huachuca, to the high school.
