Actually I disagree. An accelerometer is effectively a specialized
microcontroller. Are we going to assert that it's not a sensor?

The term "sensor" is exceedingly broad and given the way they
wrote the rules this year I think they mean it to be interpreted in
a broad manner.

I presume this will be one of the first questions asked when the official
forums open up.
