it should be ok
The gyro takes 5V, not 10. I can't swear to it, but I think the 5V supply pins on the analog port can only source 25mA. There is one specific pin that is fused that can source more current, which is meant for the gyro. You should be able to connect two gyros to that pin, the data sheets indicate it only draws 20mA. Maybe the gyro from previous years used more current?
The larger problem, I think, is finding one. According to some other posts here, that part is specific to FIRST and isn't available off-the-self. Maybe you can borrow one, but the value counts towards your electronics budget.
