Brad would know for sure, but I think that is how it works.

Hmmm sort of sounds right, but wouldn't you have to multiply? For instance, say the robot moves 1 degree...with the 80 you would get 12.5 mV and with the 300 you would get 5 mV. If the gyro code is unchanged then it would return a value 2.5 less than the real value (12.5/5) which means you would have to multiply to achieve the correct heading. Or am I having a brain fart?
