Even easier, DigiKey also sells premade assemblies such as H3AWH-1018G-ND (1.5') and H3AWH-1036G-ND (3.0').
Also worth noting is the fact the sensor is a 3-axis one, so you could vertically mount it (if it's rigidly mounted and actually vertical) and just read different axes.

Thanks for providing the part numbers! You're correct about the accelerometer providing triaxial output, but the ADXRS450 gyroscope only outputs a single axis (Z when mounted horizontally).

Any idea where one could buy a spare or two? Thanks.

Unfortunately we're not able to provide any additional IMU or Gyro/Accel boards. The only boards available today are the ones in FIRST Choice stock. These sensors were donated to FIRST by Analog Devices and cannot be sold since that would breach our agreement. There are plans to have more sensors made available to teams in future seasons, but unfortunately the only way to get an IMU or Gyro/Accel board is to purchase it with FIRST Choice points.
