Automatic Block Counteraction Program

My team has been discussing options for how to automatically counteract blocks and hits so that the driver can control relative to 0 speed rather than 0 power to the motors. Options including a trackball method, perpendicularly arranged smart wheels attached to small generators, and accelerometers in order to determine the movement of the robot automatically at any given time have been put on the table. Has anyone ever tried anything similar? If yes, how did it work? If no, why not? Does anyone have any other ideas about how we could determine the actual movement of the robot?
