Description
This device measures rotational movement for 4 directions. You can use this to cancel unwanted movement (overdamp after steering) which makes it also ideal to aid in gyroscopic balancing. I did not invent this myself but got inspired by Sperzieb00n's creations and he is so far I know the only one who has used this mechanic in practical ways. My goal with this rebuild was to reduce the use of a controller and bearings by using my glitchwelding skills, which makes this more compact and FPS friendlier.

How does this work?
Suspensions as you probably know can act pretty weird. They are fixed and flexible at the same time. Whenever you try to move the block on top to the side in a straight motion then the block will not budge. But when this motion becomes angular the block on top becomes flexible and will experience drag making the block leave its position for that moment. This movement gets picked up by a sensor which indicates one of the directions.

The device that I build still doesn't look logical to the inexperienced eye. How do I measure 4 different direction with 1 sensor? I glitchwelded 4 sensors into each other. I also glitch welded another 4 blocks on top of the spring which all have a minimal color difference which isn't noticeable. The 4 sensors are set on color mode and can distinguish all 4 of those blocks. That also means that recoloring those blocks will break this accelerometer.
