So, hoping he was right, I plugged a cable into the other set of pins. then I rant he same program I had been running. Low and behold, it worked. It started behaving like it should.

So, basically, what I'm saying is that this year's gyro, which IS a different model than last year's, is either labeled using different conventions (T no longer stands for temp but twist or something) or some of the boards were just plain mislabeled. .


From the Sensors manual
"The Yaw Rate gyro receives 5V from the RC and connects to two of the robot
controller’s analog inputs. Please note that the output labeled “T” is for “Twist” or
rotational velocity. The output labeled “R” is “Relative Temperature”."

Somewhat confusing, but specifically called out.
Twist is what you are looking for.
