A best practice for using the gyro is to have the software do a gyro reset at the very beginning of autonomous. That way the team can line up the robot with it on, but the final position will be the 0 angle for autonomous. Even if a team can't implement that software fix, they can reboot the robot with the reset switch on the cRIO, which will sync much faster then a full power cycle of everything (they may also be able to use the reboot robot button on the DS).
