Robot Scale

[fb39ca4]

We use a scale with a small base, but the display is in its own box attached by a wire so that we can read it.

We use two typical bathroom scales - have two students weigh themselves, pick up the bot and step on the scales together. Add the two weights together and subtract the students weights.

It can be very useful to have 4 scales, one for each corner of the robot. This allows you to determine how your center of gravity is located on the robot, which can affect how it drives and turns (especially if you ever use mecanum wheels).

The Simley pre-ship scrimmage always has a very nice 4-point scale at it - it might be worth contacting them to see where they got their scale.

We use this scale, it's not the most accurate, but it's pretty good and the price is right.

Somthing like this should be ideal with a peice of plywood. Accuracy is important so it might be worth investing in a scale that will last and be accurate.
