Robert. The gyro chip in the kit is very poor quality and really wont work as a balance. Its just too cheap.
Your better off making your own with potentiometers.
The kit gyro wont work fast enough to counter the bridge as it tips over, by the time the gyro kicks in its too late.

: We are having great difficulty developing a program that uses gyrochip to automatically balance the robot. Also, has any team developed a robot that can balance automatically without relying on the gyrochip. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
: Thank you in advance.
