Not quite.
When most people around here say gyro they're referring to an angular rate gyro. This will measure how fast an angle is changing on whatever axis it's aligned with. That means you can align it with your heading, and integrate its output with Angular Rate/Time to track you angular heading as it changes. But switch an access and it can track the tilt of your robot. It doesn't measure any heading/tilt, just the rate of angular motion. You can use 3 gyros for one on X, Y, and Z axis if you'd like to track your heading and tilts in 3 dimensions.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
