I'm not too familiar with gyros. Do you have any sample code I could take a look at?
The gyro+encoder routine is one that many teams currently use for autonomous. However, over time the errors due to wheel slip, collisions, and gyro drift make it inaccurate enough that you can't really depend on it through the match.

Polar coordinates lend themselves to this use (angle + distance).
