Well there's a maximum rate limit of 80deg per second that the gyro will measure. Certainly you can't trust it to integrate the rate and reliably determine your angular position if it's near this maximum or fluctuating wildly. And if it's pegged at the maximum, then you can't trust it at all or your integrated angle at any time after that. So I was figuring that if it hit the maximum, or maybe 75% of the maximum, you'd shut your motors down and hope like heck it'd settle down to a trustable value, then start back up again and continue on your merry way. Probably better than forging blindly ahead and hoping for the best.
