If you have only two followers, you will need a way (such as a gyro) to get rotation.

If you have three followers in the correct configuation, you can get rotation from the follower encoders. If you want, you can compare that to a gyro reading to see how well they agree.

My guess is that a properly installed, calibrated, and initialized gyro will give better accuracy in most cases.
