What about 2 omni wheels placed perpendicular to each other that drag along the floor. As the one in the y axis moves, it gives you your position in the y axis and the same as with the x. Although I do not know how the code might work, to make this more reliable you could add a gyro to correct for any kind of rotation.

As for the mouse idea, I don't have any info on it other than what's in the post. It's on my to do list but that's a mile long not to mention school work.
