Dead reckoning is where the program tells the bot to go forward for X number of program cycles, then turn, then go forward again, then turn, then accelerate up the ramp and into the boxes

I don't know what you're talking about, but that would be a useless deadreckoning mode. the robot can travel in a curve much easier than in a rectangle. set one POT before the match and have it relate that number to a constant on one of the wheels. the code may look something like: (this is psuedo-code)
if (POT > 127)
right motor = POT + 127
left motor = 127
else
left motor = 393 - POT
right motor = 127
end if
or something like that. Just throw in the gyro, and test if it's going up and step on it.
