Also if anybody knows how to wire the gyro the information is to technical for us.
For gyro wiring, check out the Gyro Example. The example shows generic wiring. For the 2010 kit gyro, the RATE pin is marked. The 5V pin is next to the RATE pin in the row of three pins nearest the edge of the board. The GND pin is next to the 5V pin in the row of pins nearest the edge of the board. For the 2010 kit gyro, the Gain (Volts/Degree/Second) is 0.007. You will need to input that value in the example.

For more on wiring the gyro, see the FIRST Sensor Manual_RevA here

If you have trouble with your gyro drifting, try rebooting the cRIO. The cRIO calibrates modules when it boots, so if you added a module afterward, or your robot was moving during bootup, you may have calibration issues.
