Unless you just plan to use the accelerometer to sense when your robot has settled back down. Don't need to know you are flat, just need to know you are not moving all over the place.
I've worked with space based navigation and lever arms and planes and Kalman filters. .. and I have never, ever once considered looking up to navigate. - purduephotog [more]
