The yaw rate sensor, commonly referred to as the gyro, detects changes in rotational velocity. It can be used to detect if your robot is tipping, how fast an arm is moving, etc. It is a cool sensor to use if you have a need for it (ie balancing a bridge). I don't see much need for it in this year's game. If you want more technical details, I'd be happy to supply them.
