Re: which sensor to use

For measuring tilt? A multi-axis accelerometer is the only reasonable choice. But no single sensor is "perfect". If you want the best possible information about the robot and its environment, you have to use many different sensors and a good algorithm for combining imprecise, noisy, and sometimes contradictory signals.
