Having learned what I have in the past few days (see this thread on usfirst), I'm not surprised; the gyro class uses hardware acceleration unavailable to an I²C gyroscope. While we will look at the suggestions there, there's the possibility of using an arduino to turn the I²C gyro into a rotation encoder, or just buying an integrated solution. The NavX would also be under consideration if it were actually available.
