First off Gyros measure acceleration, so it doesn't really matter if you are turning 70 deg/s you could turn 500 deg/s at 0 acceleration and the gyro could probably handle it. It is angular acceleration that you need to worry about. I think the Gyros we have support 300 deg/s/s which is probably enough for almost all FIRST applications (Actually it might 150 if where using the ADXRS150 series gyros)
Either way I don't really think that you need two unless there's a good reason (i.e sensing if the robots tilted etc...)
