Re: The accelerometers

wait a minute, which accelerometers are we talking about here?

the ones that use to be provided by FIRST were angular accelerometers, or in other words, solid state gyroscopes

they do tell you the rate at which your platform is turning in degrees per second (change of angle is acceleration)

if that is what you are referring to, you only need one, and it doenst matter where you put it, because the entire robot rotates at the same rate.
