CircleTrackerDemo: Servos and Gyros

I've been playing around with the CircleTrackerDemo and have managed to get an image feed up on the dashboard. There are two things that I have run into that I am stuck at.

1. In the code, it constructs a Robot Drive with channels 1 and 2 on the digital sidecar referring to some motor. Are these supposed to be the servos that rotate the camera? I currently have them both as jaguars and have modified the code to get the robot to run on tank drive.

2. In the updated dashboard, there is a dial that has degrees listed about it. I'm fairly sure that this is relating to the gyro heading. In the Java code, clusters are created that display I/O and other readings to the dashboard. Looking through it, I found nothing (I'm not saying that it isn't in there and I didn't recognize it) that would display the gyro heading on the dashboard. How is this done?
