We use three methods: a gyro, the IR, and shaft encoders to maintain heading, position, and orientation during autonomous, but that doesn't help teams that don't have them. The method I suggest is for teams without any of these. It's essential if you are using true dead-reckoning.
We don't use any of them during driving mode, although we do sometimes modify the power curve to give more range at the low-end.
There are lots of answers and you'll see as many software solutions as robot solutions to FIRSTs game. It's part of what makes it all so interesting.
