you can't use an accelerometer to measure speed. You will be off by way more than 0.5 fps. If your robot gets bumped, expect the value to be offset by about 20 feet per second.

Couldn't you use an encoder and use this to set up auto-shifting? And you could use this together with measuring voltage to detect when to shift.

I would use encoders plus the built in ammeter functionality in the new PDB to autoshift.

Detecting current, right? Detecting voltage wouldn't help much.

Yeah you are right. My bad
