But what good will that serve when trying to balance 3 bots? I wrote this before, but a weight shifting mechanism where all the electrical components and the shooter mechanism is on a platform which is then shifted from the front to the back of the robot. Will have to test if that will be enough to tilt the bridge in the middle and if there will be enough room on the robot for such a platform to move enough to change the center of gravity.

And I would use a gyro and not an accelerometer.
