Re: Weighing the Robot

Team 228 has two scales for weighing robots/parts, a 150-lb scale and a 400-lb scale. Here's a link to the 400-lb scale (which is the one we primarily use) that we have, which Staples sells for $150.

Like the previous posters, we just add on two cross members of aluminum and re-zero the scale, then weigh the robot.
