Anyone using the Accelerometer ?

Anyone successfully using the accelerometer to derive(integrate) the robot speed (and direction given it has multi-axis support) ? Any hints about filtering ? How far off is its speed estimates ?

Any code around anywhere for it (other than the basic class in WPILib) ?

Any idea how many "G"s we can expect in robot bumper based collisions ? Could the max "G" be greater than the 3 Gs the sensor supports and hence the resultant speed would be essentially corrupted after a bigt collision ?

Anyone else using it for anything else ?
