There are many sensors listed on Kevin's site. Which are you referring to?

Keep the calculations to the basic right triangle trig calculations.
I am still thinking about it but the best way i think is to know the angle <90 of the robot direction to parallel of the field. This is done by adding and subtracting the gyro values. Then use sin and cos to calulate the change in x and y based on the distance you traveled in that direction. The accelerometer will help you with this.

6600gt,
I'm not sure can follow your explanation. Could you please elaborate? I see a few key words but not a clear picture of what is to be done and what each component is used for.

Thanks,
