I had already planned on something similar. I think (at the moment) that
the additional weight will not be too subtantial, and a certain amount of
friction will be beneficial, as the reaction time of the system will not
be spectacularly fast, or incredibly accurate. I'll certainly keep you
all posted.

As for using them for a balancing problem, Luis will probably want to gear
up the axle at the pivot point to get a more-accurate measurement than the
1/16th rotation that the rotation sensor provides.  This might add some
friction on its own, and will probably multiply the friction at the
rotation sensor by the gear ratio.  Not that big a deal, it just means he
might have to beef up the size of the pole, and therefore the size of the
whole system (except the rotation sensor and associated gears).
