BTW, a number of teams use accelerometers without any problems. Gravity is either accounted for or ignored, but the accelerometers are reasonable in cost and complexity.

Gravity could be concievably ignored, but even a slight rock of the robot would make position tracking invalid. For about 4 grand you can get a commercial grade INS that will do all the work for you, but that is obviously not viable.
