I'm not sure if this is much help, but here is what I found and put together.
This is someone trying to do it in Java, and I took some information from there:

It seems that there needs to be an initial command of 0x00 (same as 0) to set it to continuous measurement mode, then just read the data 6 bytes at a time (what the java code does, might need changing). But maybe this is not needed and just managed by the LabVIEW I2C code by itself, so it probably does not need to be included.
I put together a VI with the different parts of code needed, hope this is of some help.
Another option is to go with the gyro that your team probably has that looks like this:
Product:

which should have come in previous year's kit of parts, I believe. My team is using this gyro this year, it is much easier since you can open it on an analog port with the gyro VIs in the WPI library.
