    This may be a bit out there, but large Combines use a similar system. You may be able to get some help from what they learned? I belive it's only to keep the cab level (gotta keep those guys comfey), but it's the principal.
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    A helicopter gyro could sense the angle of the vehicle on any terrain and if hooked to an independent valving setup could compress or extend hydraulic cylinders to compensate; keeping things level. There are some fancy rock buggies that use air bags or hydraulics to more or less accomplish this idea. The ones I have seen are manually controlled though versus computer or gyro. It would be very expensive and involved to accomplish since you would be piecing everything together based on hunches. A forced articulation suspension designed to overcome antisquat, body roll, diving, and other negative things would be more practical.

    I believe there is a guy on the Pirate 4X site that built a jeep that uses a series of computers,driver input and gyro's to affect the levelness of the vehicle under various terrain conditions.

    By the way, how is the roboVX? Haven't seen any updates lately.
