Re: The accelerometers

in that case, they would not be able to measure rotation.

search the forum for gyros and you will find lots of threads on commercially available solid state gyros that do measure angular rate of turn.

there were many threads on them last year. Its too late to design them into your machine this year, unless you make the mods at the event you are attending - It would be tough to write a PID loop on the fly

if you have a practice bot you could experiment at home, but anything you build has to be done at the events at this point in the season.
