Help with Gyro

[Skyehawk]

Sorry that this post is a little out of place, but what is your application of the gyro in this years game? Autonomous or teleop? I went over the use of a gyro with a few members of my team and they seemed to deem it unnecessary. Normally I would agree, (our team is not particularly known for our programming prowess). I am interested this year because of the need to use every second available, my team plans on using autonomous to set ourselves up for teleop scoring. The more accurately we know our robot's position the faster we can move in autonomous, faster = higher score.
What do you guys see as the practical applications for gyroscopes in this years game? At what stages in the game? Is there any specific gyroscope you would recommend? Thanks in advance.
