Have one, brand new battery (or other consistant weight) at every regional event. You take your robot to the scale without the battery and this battery is placed on the scale with your robot (and everyone else's). The weight limit remains the same. How about that?
Why not simplify a little bit and just figure out the average battery weight and subtract it from the total allowed weight, and allow teams to weigh in without the battery? Net result should be the same...

For example, if the official battery is deemed to weigh 14 pounds, just make the weight limit 116 pounds, and have everyone weigh in w/o the battery.
