The only use I could think of for the gyro for this years game was a little bit of a stretch for a gyro
I proposed that we set it to tilt the robot to one side, if we were in a situation that another robot was trying to pick us up, the gyro would tip us off of thier clutches.
I don't even know if a gyro could do this since I suck at anything electrical and am taking my intro to electrical class in college for the 4th time next semester

but It was the only thing I could think of as an application for the gyro
