263 and 2168 used fly wheels in 2009 to help their robots turn/resist turning on the slick surface. There may have been others too. I don't know about during a hanging maneuver though. There's never been an FRC challenge that required you perform a second action after the hang, so I don't think any teams considered gyroscopic stabilization necessary for previous hanging challenges.

I too would love to see a robot that implemented this.
