Gyro Questions

I've seen many talking about using gyro's in the control system. Last year we only used banner sensors for counting distance and dead reckoning for autonomous. Some questions come to mind:

- Is there enough sensitivity to use these for drift? Can the signal be integrated to provide actual position.

- Which gyro's would be the best to use for this purpose?

- Can all this be done with just the FRC, or do some teams use auxiliary IC's?

We were happy last year just to get the new system going and would like to improve our controls.

TIA - Jeff
