Re: Robot Scale Recommendation?

We have access to a digital scale with a remote readout. This is handy because once the robot is balanced on a regular bathroom-type scale, the readout is usually obscured. We lay a couple of pieces of aluminum channel on it, zero the scale, and then balance the robot on top of them.

If we didn't have that scale, I think I'd try 2 bathroom scales and lay a couple of 4-foot 2x2's between them, zero both scales and then put the robot on the 2x2's. Add the two indicated weights together and there you go.
