I believe you're only allowed 1 gyro from the restricted parts list. As for being bumped, yes this will most likely screw up the gyro because the gyro reads angular velocity and it maxes out at 64 degrees/second (or is the new one this year 75 degrees/second? I haven't checked yet). Anyway if you think about turning only 64 degrees in one second you'll realize that a robot could easily exceed this on it's own (especially with tank steering) or by being bumped.
