Our robot design makes it difficult to install wheel encoders this year, so we decided to use the accelerometer to do the job of encoders telling us how far the robot has travelled. It will be used during autonomous mode to run a programmed path (e.g. go forward 10 ft). We will reset the accumulator before each segment run. Each segment run is a straight line on level ground. Therefore, I think we may be able to pull this off with the accelerometer.
