Huge caveat: I have yet to try it on the robot. No doubt noise, shocks and approaching the max acceleration is still a problem. It does show 90 turns accurately on the bench and returns to zero. It does not seem to vary from power cycle to power cycle but it does vary from gyro to gyro. It probably varies with temperature but we only use the gyro in autonomous so I haven't looked into it.

This is not a panacea. I was only trying to start out with a better sensitivity setting for any given gyro part/board.
