Thanks for the reply. I wish your luck with your scale troubles.
I'm sure you've considered this, but for the benefit of anyone reading - this is one of those scenarios where you have a really clever idea, but you still have to figure out if it actually helps you or not.
Luckily, there are a couple ways to figure it out. The math will give you a numerical answer with reasonable accuracy. However, the number might not tell you as much as you would hope: if it improves evenness of weight distribution by 15%, is that worth the investment to make it work? Still, if the numbers show some truly unimpressive numbers, that is an early way to dismiss an idea.
I think you might be better off just testing it out: put the battery in one spot, have your driver try it out - then move the battery and try again. Of course this requires you have a mostly complete robot already.
