I haven't chatted with them about it lately, but our programmers were planning to try the accelerometer. When the robot's level again (plus another few inches counted by encoders), we're off the defense. We'll obviously have to have some sort of FSM system to evaluate yes, we're going up, now we're going over, now we're going down, and now we're across.
The visual rangefinder to the goals (camera + target processing) can also help determine if you're still in the outer works or not.
