Analog Gyro .getAngle() function occasionally giving massive random values

I might be wrong here, but when you have no radial acceleration, the analog gyro should output 2.5V, then increase or decrease depending on which way it's rotated.

If the connection isn't good, the controller won't see 2.5V and will give you widely varying numbers like what you're seeing.

I've replaced the gyro, and it's still acting the same. Overall, the gyro acts normal, has a bit of drift and measures rotation fairly accurately, but every so often it'll spike, but still return to where it should be. I suspect it's software because (iirc) the gyro feeds us rate, and if we were to get a voltage spike, I doubt we'd read the same value as before the spike.
