This is a very interesting idea, but does it really work? I always thought that the gyros (at least the ones we use) had to have a quiet "settling" period during initialization, otherwise their readings would be bogus. What am I missing?

P.S. - I'm also impressed at the amount of truly useful information that has appeared in this thread in just a couple of hours, as compared to some of the other ones that go on for days and weeks, and provide nothing of value (<cough> game hints </cough>)
