Accelerometer Filtering

I recently wired up an accelerometer/gyro board to our robot in hopes of using it to track the bot's position. The problem is that the accelerometer is giving me very noisy data and I don't know how to filter it. I've looked online and I can't find anything I can understand or use. If someone could explain a good filtering algorithm to me I'd appreciate it.

Please don't tell me it's impossible to track the bot's position using only an accelerometer and gyro because I don't plan on doing that.

Thanks
