Gyro value not consistent

We have used a gyro before and in fact, we are using the same one this year that we used last year. I'm not sure what setSensitivity does, but I have it set to default (0.007).

If I reset the gyro, and read the angle, it stays around 0. And if I move 30 degrees, gyro.getAngle() does change from 0 to 30, but after that it keeps on moving up slowly even if the robot stops moving. It's really slow but it changes from 30 to 33 in 15 seconds.

I am pretty sure this did not happen last year. We will try a different gyro tomorrow.

If there's anything else we could check or if there's something we're doing wrong, any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!
