Given how hard it is to see items on the robot during a match, a better option might be to have either the roboRIO log the data you want to it's internal flash or send the data to the dashboard. Both the LabVIEW dashboard and the SFX dashboard support logging by default.
Has anyone seen the specs on the roborio accelerometer? I searched but could not find any information.
