I had an idea for constructing one using "bend" sensors with weights attached to one end. As the robot's orientation would change, the sensors would move (because of gravity pulling the weights). If several of these sensors were placed strategically inside a robot's chassis, I suspect that one could calculate the robot's orientation fairly accurately.
