Use a different "gyro"

Actually, I do have another question. Originally, I was going to measure angular velocity by integrating angular accleration, obtained from two linear accelerometers placed a certain distance apart. I did this because the gyro can only measure angular velocities of ±75 degrees/second or less, and runs into trouble at anything higher than that. However, I realized that this will be far less accurate than using a gyro sensor.
I would contact Future and buy an Analog Devices angular rate sensor ("gyro"). They have one that can measure +/- 300 degrees/second.
