Gyro Absolute Angle

Hello! Programming this year has been going pretty well, but one problem is bugging us. We would like to use the gyro to return the angle of our (alleged) Frisbee launcher and can't exactly figure out how get the absolute angle from the gyro. I read in the 2009 C++ Getting Started Guide that the gyro is good for getting the relative angle, but not the absolute angle, and the accelerometer is good for directional acceleration and absolute angle (but is "easily confused while moving"). Does anyone happen to know the best way? Thanks!
