Re: Has anyone gotten useful data from the accelerometer?

I'd have to chip my two cents in and agree that using the accelerometer to measure speed is exorbitantly difficult. Our omniwheels provide a bit of slippage and encoders are therefore somewhat inaccurate, but in terms of being able to determine our location in autonomous, they are still our number one choice (versus the unreliability of the accelerometer).
