In addition, I think that you cannot determine your current position independent of time with just the encoder positions for mecanum, since it matters what combination of velocities you have each timestep.
That said, we are planning to use a gyro for heading. The mouse would only be for translation.

You
can determine your position independent of time, as encoders can tell you both the position and velocity of the bot at any given time. That being said, I cannot speak to the accuracy of encoders with mecanum wheels, but I imagine that it could be feasible depending on how it is implemented.
