My recommendation is to get one with an extended control board for easier reading. I have personally used a scale like this for FRC: https://www.amazon.com/Accuteck-Digital-Industry-Shipping-ACB440/dp/B00LPUZP1I/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1537817948&sr=8-8&keywords=heavy+duty+scales

We have added a piece of plywood that was a bit bigger to use it for the robot. It was a past mentors that they used for the Ebay business.
I honestly think the heaviest I have ever had to do was roughly 30lbs or so and didn't have any issues with it. The top of the scale is a plastic cover that can come off, but doesn't fall off easily if you know what I mean. It opens up to hold envelopes (I guess) and packages but I've honestly never used it with the flaps open I always just throw the box on the scale. I know they do make one that is a little more heavy duty that can hold more weight as well. Just from personal experience I trust Accuteck scales.
