Are these two sufficient for sensors on the robot, and if not, what else would be useful?

Edit: My teammates seem to recall from the kick off video that the sensors provided in the kit would be sufficient, this is why i'm asking.
Thanks for replies
It is evident (by inspection of the code and inspection of the kickoff video) that the kickoff robot had gyro sensors and encoders installed. Neither of these sensors were included in the kit.

JMHO.
