Do you mean Digikey is out of all types, or they're out of RoHS compliant types?

Sparkfun has 88 of the ADXRS300's still in stock, but they're not RoHS compliant so if that is a requirement then it will be a problem.

Accelerometers aren't effected yeah! But if this prevents widespread gyro or other sensor use, this will be a major blow to autonomous modes.

This isn't a law everywhere, however California's new directive makes it a law there, correct?
