So, a couple weeks ago, I tested each sensor on the P1 side individually.  Let's see if I can remember this correctly:

Up:
Top - Good ~4lbs
Left - Okay ~10lbs
Right - Okay ~10lbs
Bottom - total fuckin' shit ~25lbs

Left:
Top - Okay ~8lbs
Left - Good ~4lbs
Right - Bad ~15lbs
Bottom - Good ~5lbs

Right
Top - can't remember, but it was under 10lbs
Left - Okay ~10lbs
Right - Good ~2lbs
Bottom - Good ~5lbs

Down
Top - Good ~5lbs
Left - bad ~15lbs
Right - good ~5lbs
Bottom - great ~1lb


I'll try to do a more complete test of this next time I'm there.  Here's my advice:
1. Step wide to get the outer sensors
2. Don't doublestep with your left foot.
3. Don't use the bar.

If we can just get them to rearrange some of the sensors so that the outer and inner sensor of every panel is good, the pad will work fine.

2P side seems fine, so I didn't test it at all.
