Is there an easy way to download all the source code for WPILib C++ v4.3 at once?

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.

We found two years ago that the accelerometer is not accurate enough for navigation. It is designed to detect bumps to deploy air bags and is not very accurate at all.

Thanks for the info. But this is too late now. This would be our learning experience of using the accelerometer. We will try to make the best use of it.
