Unhappy The angle of going up the Ramp

Yaw sensors: Can we use it to tell us if the robot is going directly up

Does anybody know of a device that will give us this input?
It would be like a level in two directions setting limit switches. Or maybe we could make something out of a level and potentiometers????
