Hi darrellt! If in your code you first assume that the robot starts in the same position on the field, you should be able to calculate your position in 3D space. The ADIS16448 has been used by many engineers in position tracking applications with great success.
At the heart of NavX is a consumer-grade 6DOF sensor versus the industrial-grade ADIS16448. The 448 has been calibrated over temperature and is built for rugged navigation applications (like robots!). Lots of parametrics such as ARW, Bias Stability, Rate Noise Density, etc. are much better than the NavX and the interface is much more reliable and robust.
At this point, I'm the only person developing code for the 448, so the lack of C++/Java support is a big gap that I hope to fill as time permits. If anyone would like to port the LabVIEW code over, please let me know!
