Never thought of a pendulum though, that would be kinda neat. But again, with the vibration I feel like the dampening system would need to be quite intense.

Yeah; my team also gave up on the accelerometer after one day of testing. The noise is too high for any integration to be useful at all. If you tilt the thing one tenth of a degree, it will within seconds think the robot is driving across the floor at 12 ft/s.
