I assume you are talking about digging into the HolonomicDrive VI. It takes 3 inputs... Magnitude (which is from 0.0 - 1.0), Direction (which is in degrees) and Rotation (which is -1.0 to 1.0, but has errant documentation claiming it is in degrees/sec).

Who's putting the Gyro in? I'm guessing you mean into the Direction input. The Gyro only comes into play if you want field oriented control, in which case you would subtract the gyro angle from the desired direction coming from the cartesian to polar conversion.
