The Discobots used the kit gyro last year to do field oriented drive on our omni-drive. We didn't have to much issues with drift over the duration of the match. We did have it setup so that the driver could zero the gyro him self at any of the cardinal directions but he only needed to use it in a few matches.
Our biggest problem with the kit gyro was the initial calibration routine we were dead in the water during a few elimination matches at Lone Star because we didn't let the robot sit still when we turned it on.
