We are planning on using the gyro angle to offset our cartesian coordinate plane so that when the operator presses the joystick away from himself, the robot always moves away from the operator regardless of robot orientation.

However, this years 80 degrees per second gyro has me a bit worried. It's tough to do by feel, but it sure seems like our robot can pull a 90 degree turn in less than 1 second by rotating.

Has anyone else had to deal with this, and does anyone think the robots can spin fast enough to saturate the gyro?

I considered purchasing last year's gyro but I can't find anywhere to do so.
