A quadrature encoder (rotation sensor) should be all you need. As long as both sides are going the same speed, it will not drift. You do not need to further compensate with other sensors.

Myself and a programming mentor (who is also very busy, being the lead mentor) are the only current programmers on team 33. I wrote all of the code myself, and there is quite a bit of it for our current robot, especially in the arm.

If you would like my autonomous drive straight block, PM me and I will send it to you (apparently I can't post attachments in this thread).
