Re: Gyros
The gear tooth sensor is a basic hall effect sensor which can sense each tooth of a sprocket/gear in order to measure speed or distance traveled. You could get one of these from sparkfun.com, or you could use a different method of measuring wheel rotation, such as an encoder, which in my opinion are a little easier to use.

See Kevin Watson's page on encoders: http://www.kevin.org/frc/encoder/

Re: Gyros
Our actual team is from St. Paul but I live by lake nokomis in Minneapolis, and I shall contact first to see if they will send us a new sensor strip.

Re: Gyros
We have the GTS, but can't find a spare DAA or Gyro at the moment. PM me if you want me to send the GTS's.
