Gyro Effect!

I have searched the site and have not found any specific thread on it.

A single spining at such high rpms will act like a very powerful gyro. It will make the turning harder and if the wheel is placed high on the robot it will help you tip over when you trying to turn while resisting the turn. This is because of the direction its spinning relative to the direction of the robot forward direction.

I think a horizontal wheel will not have as much affect and with 2 then should counteract each others forces, right?

What do you guys think?
