Better gyroscope?

Hey everybody!

We're using a gyroscope on our robot this year (I dont know the model number, but it's the "traditional" one you can see a picture of here). Unfortunately, this gyro tends to drift randomly sometimes (accumulating a few degrees over a few seconds), and at others it will remain almost perfectly stable.

Has anyone come across this problem before? We'd like to use the gyro to aim our robot, so such drift is a problem.

If anyone simply has suggestions for better gyroscopes that would also be welcome
