I'm assuming that the robot is always on a flat surface

That's pretty much the conclusion I arrived at. There must be some correlation between rotating and accelerometer output, though, like centripetal acceleration?

A magnetometer should be used instead since it's essentially a compass.

I've heard mixed opinions about using compasses. We already have one of
