My suspicions of the usefulness of a capacitor were further confirmed by their explicit instructions to use one. What capacitor size have you chosen and what bandwidth are you trying to achieve?
I believe the accelerometers in the FIRST KoP come built into a board, which includes the recommended components. I don't know the size, though. All of the included sensors are assembled onto boards for FIRST.
