: I'm wondering about the data that the gyro chip and the data it sends.

: I believe it sends data from a range of + or - 64 degrees. So when this is converted to brads, would it be between 170 and 84 brads?

Our team never really bothered converted the input from the gyro into any kind of degrees. We simply used the number striaght from the gyro to create a variable that stores the angle from the original position and it always keeps moving to attempt to balance. We have been tweaking the numbers for about a week (we have several ways of changing how the robot reacts) and now it balances about 60% - 75% of the time.
