Our team needs a better solution for weighing during the build.
What'd that one cost? Brand? Model #?
Incidentally, what does that sweet lookin' machine weigh?

The scale is a TANITA BWB-800A Class III scale.
We purchased it at the beginning of last year's season... I believe we paid somewhere around $350 for it... maybe less... it was purchased online.
It has come in extremely handy for both FIRST and BEST robotics... it has a top end of 300 lbs and reads to .2 lbs.... We just put a board on top of it and drive or push the robot up on the board after zeroing the board out... works great!!! Every team should have one... We weighed during our rookie year by moving the robot down to the wrestling room (a loooooong way...) and using their scale... now we use this one... and its battery run so we can move it easily... if you need any other info please let me know
