In reality, there is indeed a slight sensitivity to acceleration by the yaw rate sensor. It's usually not enough to worry about in the context of an FRC match. However, if you've managed to get a precise enough calibration and to minimize the temperature effects, you might notice a very small error in the heading if the sensor is not at the center of rotation.
If you want to use the don't ask, don't tell logic about asking then you know it is wrong. - Steve W [more]
