yaw rate sensors are also called gyros they can measure the degree of lean in a direction. think of them as a virtual cup of coffie the coffie stays level to the ground but the cup changes. from this your can have it do corrections on directions and lean and a whole bunch of other functions. take last year for instance. if a team knows what the angel your robot is in when it is going striaght up the ramp some teams would write code that would auto correct the direction for autonomus code so that they could go straight up the ramp....there are alot of other uses take the segway for example
for specifics on how to program them i'm sure someone else in this fourm is more qualified to let you know how to do it
hope that helps
