FIRST Choice SENSOR BOARD (ACCELEROMETER & GYRO)

This is my first thread, so bear with me and let me know if I break any unspoken conventions.

We are a fairly inexperienced team, and just got the SENSOR BOARD (ACCELEROMETER & GYRO) from FIRST Choice (http://firstchoicebyandymark.com/fc16-000). Could we get some advice on connecting and using the sensor board to drive straight? Ideally we could easily disable this function while driving over terrain, getting in a pushing match, etc. We are programming in Java and have an 4-CIM 4-miniCim mechanum wheel drive which we are currently controlling using the RobotDrive class's mecanumDrive_Cartesian method. We are using 8 Talon SR motor controllers with PWM Y-splitters. No comments on the choice of drive train please, just programming/wiring advice.

Thanks in advance!
