Most fish scales don't have the capacity to do a full robot. When I did the weighing for 330, we really only used the fish scale for stuff that could hook on to it, or that was too awkward to do any other way.

When we did the full robot, we knew where a really good scale was to do the weighing.

Now here's an idea: If there are other teams close to you, go in with them on a scale of the type FIRST uses, or something similar, and make it available to all the teams in the area.
