I will be making a thread on this in programming, but we believe we have found the problem. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR GYRO USERS THIS YEAR!

While trying to help me figure out what was going on, one of our team members made the very interesting observation that there were many more paths leading to what we believed to be the temperature read port (with a T over teh white wire instead of an R) than to the port we thought was the Rotational Acceleration port. he then remarked that thee have been times when a board has been mislabeled. So, for the heck of it, and for lack of anythign else to try, we plugged the T port into the port we were using for the R port, with the code above. Low and behold, it started behaving like we thought the R port should have. It got larger to right, smaller to left, and held a value when it wasn't moving. Also, the numbers were roughly tenths of a degree counts from the starting point (90 degrees was about 900 counts).

So, we think that at least a few if not all of the new gyros this year (They are different from last year) could have been labeled wrong or with different conventions than last year (t doesn't stand for temp anymore, but Twist?) Either way, if you are experiencing problems similar to those we had described previously, give it a shot, it won't hurt the board if the controller doesn't know what to do with the signal it sends.
