Gyroscope Programming

Here is a glimpse of what I am trying to accomplish.

Gyro gyro = new Gyro(1);

I think I have solved the error last year it was, Gyro gyro = new Gyro(1); to instantiate. This year it seems to be, AnalogGyro gyro = new AnalogGyro(1); If someone could confirm this that would be awesome.

Probably better to do `Gyro gyro = new AnalogGyro(1);`. You'll want to read up on interfaces and abstract classes.
