I hazard a guess that 2 encoders and a gyro can produce a position close enough for your needs.
I was thinking the same thing, if the accelerometer proves to be unreliable (which is what it's looking to be), encoders + a definition of how wide the wheels are can give an accurate representation of how far the robot has moved, theoretically, and the gyro can give orientation.
