Thanks for your help
Each team only received one accelerometer and, even though many teams will not be using them, it is unlikely that they would give theirs away until robot development is completed.

An alternative is to purchase an accelerometer from another manufaturer as a COTS part. A good example is Spark Fun (there are many others).
