In the past, we have used the KOP one, and we have had trouble with it climbing. (It got pretty bad in some matches last year, climbing at a rate of over 1 rps). This year, we are using an arduino based one, the name escapes me.
A "fancy trick" we are doing this year is using vision to do a check on the gyro. The vision returns x y and z displacement as well as pitch roll and yaw. The yaw in vision is the same as the gyro reading that we care about, so every 2 seconds or so, we will set the gyro reading to what vision says it actually is.
