Other Variations

I don't know about this year, but the scales used last year also had a slight variation depending on where on the platform you placed the robot. As I recall it was definitely to your advantage to get the robot CG centered on the scale. Note: depending on your robot design that may not be the center of your robot.

For us it was the difference between making weight and getting out the drills
