We just purchased this scale a few days ago, and so far it seems to be accurate (measuring things of known weight)

The scale *says* it is accurate to within .5lbs, and we have determined that it is close enough for our purposes. In this picture, the robot parts were centetred, and the scale was level.

As far as the welding goes, we were lucky to have a local company donate their time and help us weld some of it. The parts you see took about 11 hours to weld in total, spread across a few days (one being almost 7 hours in itself!)
