That'd be tough though, what do you calibrate it to? Different amounts of force are pushing down in different areas (or not at all in the case of "whiskers"). If I have one wheel w/ 130 lbs over it, it "weights" differently on the pad then 130 lbs spread over four wheels, no? The pad would have to be big enough to capture the entire base, etc. I think an IR beam would be better.
