Here's a gyro idea for future competitions - In order to simplify controls, mount it as a yaw sensor. Then, have a setup so that the driver simply pushes the control stick in the direction that he wants the robot to go. Of course, this requires a pretty special (holonomic) drive system, but it might be possible with skid steering or tank treads for a sufficiently creative team.
