Weight material dispensing, cutting, and applying system

An apparatus for balancing a wheel, the apparatus comprising:

• a tool that is mechanically coupled to an arm and that includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a face surface that forms an arc between the leading and trailing edges;
• and
• an arm control module that actuates the arm to position the leading edge of the tool a predetermined distance from an edge of a deck of a cutting apparatus to receive a piece of wheel weight material,
• wherein a blade of the cutting apparatus passes between the edge of the deck and the leading edge of the tool to cut the piece from the wheel weight material, and
• wherein, after the piece is cut, the arm control module actuates the arm to rollingly apply the piece to the wheel along a first plane of the wheel starting at the leading edge.
