Gyro drift for a simple EV3
So, the other day I got my hands on a mindstorm ev3. Since I've had experience with different robot programming from FLL to FRC, I thought I would build a simple Segway robot. The issue I am having though is the stupid gyro drift. My program is functioning correctly in the sense that if it tilts one direction to far it corrects, however, the point at where it tilts back is moving in a constant negative direction by about 2deg/sec.
Is there something I need to call up to stop this or is there a fix? I am using the robot C for the EV3.
If anyone has had experience with this or know anything about this please help.

Thanks
