At the AZ Regionals a coach of 980 told me they used gyros in their robot, and if you've seen that beauty in autonomous mode then I can see why you'd want some gyros of your own. Here's a Link to their sight. The contact info's at the bottom. Based on my experience with them, they'd be happy to tell you all about it.

search this forum for 'yaw rate' or 'gyro' and you will find many threads with excellent information on this subject

you can get them for as little as $50

When our auto didn't work in Canada, our head programmer used wheel encoders to move the robot out exactly 2.5ft and rotate left/right at precise 45 degree angles (gyro) while the Chicken Dance song was playing (thanks Mr. Breadner for honoring my request) and the entire drive team was doing the chicken dance.

So what if it wasn't useful. It was awesome

There is a white paper that walks you through your question at [url=http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=26882]

The gyros are a very reliable device.
