While a gyro sensor is not given in the kit and neither are sensors labeled "encoders," FIRST does provide an accelerometer and 2 hall effect sensors. The accelerometer, with the right fine tuning, can give feedback similar to that of a gyro. Additionally, the hall effect sensors basically are wheel encoders.
