Oh, and don't try to place your toe under the scale and lift up while your robot is being weighed. They look for that too. (although it is helpful and okay to fudge with it a little up and down before the actual reading is taken to ensure an accurate measurement.)
That may be a good idea.
Last year we were weighting the robot in Seattle and the scale would range from 130 to 130.5, so *someone* (was it me? ) had the brilliant idea to empty the air tanks to see if it would help - heck, the air above us weights a whole lot .
Well, the scale actually went half a pound up... Go figure
"And the robot got some nice speed holes..."
