Thats close to that of a Space Shuttle! Even F-1 cars can pull that much during acceleration. There is no way that a FIRST robot can pull more Gs than a F-1 car(800Hp vs 2) during anything, let alone a Space Shuttle.

The reason I am going after this is because I want to use the accelerometer for same purpose(get position form it). And if this is true then everything I believed is completely false!

I think you might be forgetting the INERTIA of the robot... It can't physically accelerate that fast!!!
