What, you don't have a platform scale in your bathroom?

...maybe I need to lose some weight

Two recommendations:

List your team number in your profile! There's a spot to list it specifically, and that not only lists it under your name when you post, but creates a link to the thebluealliance.com page for your team. This lets us look up where your team is located and which events you're attending, which can really come in handy when you're asking for advice!

Second, talk to teams around you. Sometimes teams get new equipment and have old equipment they no longer need - that's how my team got our sheet metal break and shear! And sometimes teams are open and inviting, and will allow you supervised access to their shop during their meetings so you can use tools you don't have (and get advise as you build!). From another thread, you said your team number was 6480. Team 2052 isn't too far from you, and I'm sure they would be willing to help out during the season if you need it. My team is a little bit farther away (probably 35 minute drive on a Saturday), but we can probably have you over for a Saturday if you need it.
