The software we used wouldn't be of use to anyone else. Our Palm displayed our robot's position, which was transmitted back from our robot's custom circuit. Our custom circuit computed our robot's position & orientation in autonomous mode to within 6 inches using a wheel encoder and a gyroscope, and our robot controller used that information to navigate around the field using a pre-programmed list of waypoints. There was a good deal of discussion about it last year that you should be able to find by searching this board if you're interested in more of the details.
