Have YOU used the gyro chip?

I'm fairly curious as to what people have done/plan to do with their gyro chips.

Any information about tried-and-true methods of using them for anything would be nice.

More specifically, we're thinking of using one to keep track of absolute direction (trivial mathematical tweaking aside), but I find the chip itself to be rather volatile for making accurate readings, especially when a robot can turn at more than 64degrees/sec (which is the point at which the gyro maxes out)...

Umm... Well... Besides trying not to sound like a complete n00b, I'm not sure what to do with it (the gyro)...
It seems like a waste to get a >$100 piece of equipment every year, and not to use it...
