Auton Programming with Encoders and Gyros

We have been starting to use sensors on our robot, which really helped last year. We used banner sensors to quickly speed our shooter wheels up to the correct speed and then keep them up at speed so that we could quickly and accurately shoot multiple shots. Recently we have added encoders and gyros onto our 2013 robot so that our programmers can learn how to program a more complex auton.

Ideally we would like to have two autons. One of them should have the robot start and the back, center of the pyramid and then drive back to block the 2 center frisbees after we shoot our frisbees. Ideally, we would like to do this with only encoder feedback(KISS). The second auto should have the robot start from the back right of the pyramid, move back a little, turn, and then drive back to block the center frisbees. We would like to learn how to program this with both encoder and gyro feedback.

We have encoder giving us feedback already, and gyros will soon be able to give us feedback too. I was wondering if someone could give us guidance on how to program autonomous modes like these(psuedocode would be nice too).
