The gyro provided in the kit is _alright_. It provides pretty accurate readings at slow speeds of rotation. However, it can only sense so quickly... I dont know the numbers at all, but ie only 15 degrees of rotation/second, than it would max out and have to "reset" and that takes some time.

I would imagine for these self-balancing HTs that you all are trying to build the stock gyro will not present a large problem, but just FYI there are much better ones available from Digikey.
